Milk, Sugar, groceries, pet food and everything in between get delivered to our doorsteps within 20-30 mins these days, mostly in metro cities, thanks to quick commerce companies. What about medicines?
Consumers (read: Patients) still call their neighbourhood Chemists to seek delivery of their medicines.
Almost every Pharmacy now undertakes door delivery these days at no additional cost. But the delivery still takes 2-3 hours as manpower is scarce and costs additionally.
Enter “Repill”.
This Delhi based start-up focusses on medicine delivery within 60 mins.
Founded earlier this year with operations in Delhi, the company has now expanded to the IT hub of NCR that is Noida.
Rajat Gupta, Founder, Repill said, “We’re thrilled to bring Repill to Noida. Our mission is to make healthcare effortless. By delivering medicines within an hour, we empower people to focus on what truly matters: their health.” 
Consumers need to upload their prescriptions on the Repill app and order their medicines. Repill, with its tie-up with trusted pharmacies in the neighbourhood gets the medicines delivered within 60 minutes.
Other than medicines, the company also allows users to order vitamins, pain relievers and other OTC products.
Editor’s Note
Medicine delivery has been fraught with controversy over the last few years, with the offline pharmacy owners going against online platforms such as TATA 1 MG, NetMeds, PharmEasy, among others.
Their grouse has been that critical medicines, including cough syrups which induce sleep, can be easily delivered and served to non-discerning patients, who order these medicines not for ailments, but merely as a drug.
Offline chemists these days insist the customers to show a physical prescription from a doctor which are no older than 30 days, except in cases where they serve regular customers with known ailments such as diabetes, heart diseases, among others.
