Pharma is a huge industry, quick commerce serves as a perfect need for consumers. I'll love to hear the expert opinion on warehousing, inventory turnaround, frequency of purchases
Regulations are fuckall
Din’t it get standardised by ecom players? Which regulations specifically are a concern?
@UndrSun Pharma isn't same as basic medicines. OTC is still available on 1mg, pharmeasy, but for complex drugs they have to put additional checks of prescriptions. Also, prescriptions in India can be faked too, another point of check

Too much headache
Compliance and inventory.

Kyu karna hai quick commerce! Do it for B2B sector instead, too many businesses would die for faster deliveries.
Heard from someone that Zepto will begin delivering medicines. Is this true? How are they doing it? Will they be typing up with a Pharmeasy type company or will they get their own medicine delivery license from the government?
