It will pilot first in Banglore while also expanding to other cities at the same time. Reliance Retail has also acquired another e-pharmacy store Netmeds to offer more expansion.
Flipkart, the rival giant, is also planning on entering the segment. The company may make a collab with PharmEasy for a smoother entry in the online pharmacy market as per the sources. The companies have led several funding rounds for discussion. There is also considerable potential for new investment, but nothing is yet to be finalized.
