About us:

PharmEasy was founded in 2015 with the sole purpose to make healthcare easily available, accessible and affordable to all through the extensive use of new-age cutting-edge technology. Today, we are one of India's largest healthcare aggregators connecting lakhs of patients to licensed pharmacies & diagnostic centers online for all their medical needs. We are particularly catering to the chronic-care segment, and offer a range of services including medicine delivery, healthcare products, tele-consultation, sample collection for diagnostic tests as well as subscription-based services for all these categories.

Our highly efficient and technology led Consumer and Supply-chain platforms ensure that medicines & healthcare products are delivered from a licensed pharmacy within six hours of the validation of prescriptions submitted by our customers. And such customer promises are improving with the increasing scale of our business, and continuous product innovation.

By extensively leveraging the latest in hardware and software technology, we are also committed to eradicate fake medicines from the Pharma ecosystem that contribute to roughly 30% of drug volumes in India.

Our product innovations have allowed for complete data transparency in the entire Pharma supply-chain to empower even the end-users to validate the authenticity and genuineness of the medicines for every medicine sold, using constructs such as unique barcoding of information like expiry dates, origination of drugs etc.

With our scalable technology and processes, we are now reliably delivering healthcare services and medicines to every single pin code in the country.
