12-11-2023 09:06 AM CET | Health & Medicine

Press release from: MrMed.in

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, India faced a healthcare crisis that highlighted the urgent need for accessible specialty medications. It was during this challenging period that MrMed, India's largest online pharmacy for super specialty medicines, emerged. Founded with a vision of creating a patient-centric, technology-enabled business, MrMed embarked on a transformative journey to bridge the gap in the healthcare ecosystem and enhance the lives of individuals battling critical illnesses.

MrMed, A Vision Takes Shape Amidst Crisis

The seeds of MrMed were sown in 2020, and the operations were launched in 2021 when its founders recognized the fragmented supply chain and lack of a one-stop solution for specialty medications in India. Patients and caregivers struggled due to limited access and inflated prices. Determined to eradicate these challenges, MrMed emerged as a guiding light, providing more than just medicines.

MrMed, headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is India's largest online pharmacy for super specialty medicines. Founded by a team of seasoned professionals, MrMed operates with a patient-centric approach and aims to create a technology-enabled healthcare ecosystem. The founders, Saurab Jain, with experience in the pharmaceutical industry, and Devashish Singh, with a background in consultancy, bring a wealth of expertise to the venture.

MrMed operates on a diverse business model catering to consumers (B2C). With a dedicated team of 50 employees, MrMed is driven by its commitment to revolutionizing the healthcare industry.

At MrMed, their mission goes beyond conventional pharmacy services. They offer personalized solutions, including assistance in medicine procurement and adherence to patient assistance programs. Their range of services encompasses educating users about medications and their eligibility for patient assistance programs, facilitating the import of medicines from around the world through a transparent process, and ensuring the safe storage and delivery of cold chain products, all meticulously managed to maintain the required temperature.

MrMed, A Revolution in Patient Care

MrMed commenced its operations, reaching patients with personalized care and building trust. Their commitment to patient welfare led to rapid growth, serving over 10,000 customers across 1500 cities, towns, and villages in India within a year. The company's dedication was acknowledged when Google recognized their content as trustworthy, a testament to their expertise.

MrMed, Your Doorset pharmacy at affordable prices

MrMed is known for its affordable prices and ensures that life-saving medicines i.e cancer medicines are accessible to patients nationwide. With a commitment to preventing delays or limited access, MrMed proudly offers up to 85% discounts on essential medications, making healthcare more affordable. In regions with scarce specialty medicines, MrMed bridges the gap, offering timely and cost-effective deliveries.

MrMed's Handholding Assistance with Patients Assistance Programmes (PAP)

Pharmaceutical manufacturers typically sponsor Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) to reduce patient therapy costs. These programs aim to offer financial assistance, enabling patients to access medications at minimal or no cost.

MrMed guides individuals throughout this process, ensuring access to PAP medicines by liaising with program managers and pharmaceutical companies. MrMed provides current information on the eligibility criteria for the PAP program benefits, including permissible indications and necessary documentation.

MrMed Mobile App, A Gamechanger in Healthcare

The affordability and positive feedback on MrMed further fueled their mission to provide accessible healthcare solutions by launching a mobile application. Launching the MrMed mobile app on Android and iOS platforms marked a turning point, enabling patients and caregivers nationwide to easily access over 4,000+ specialty medicines. With flexible payment options and doorstep delivery, MrMed's app became a lifeline for those in need.

MrMed, 2021-2023 Highlights

By October 2023, MrMed achieved a substantial user base with 63,000+ registered users and a delivery record of 4000+ specialty SKUs to 2450+ cities in India. Starting in 2021, their dedication garnered positive feedback, testimonials, and strong word-of-mouth referrals. A pivotal moment in June 2022, marked by an effective outdoor campaign, led to a remarkable 12% month-over-month revenue increase. By August 2022, they served over 10,000 customers in 1,500 cities and expanded further, reaching villages. The successful launch of mobile apps in March 2023, with 45,000+ users, marked a significant milestone in MrMed's evolution as a patient-focused healthcare solution provider.

Acknowledging their relentless efforts, MrMed earned the prestigious HealthCare Start-up of the Year 2022 award at the annual TANCARE event, presented by Sri Ma. Subramanian, Honourable Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of Tamil Nadu. Furthermore, Devashish Singh (one of the co-founders of MrMed) was honored with the BW Healthcare World 40 Under 40 Young Achievers 2023 award, recognizing the company's outstanding contributions and commitment to providing the gift of good health to the citizens of India.

MrMed Secures Rs. 4.16 Crores Funding for Expansion

With relentless effort, MrMed has established itself as a prominent e-pharmacy platform in India. They have successfully raised Rs. 4.16 crores in a recent funding round led by the Tamil Nadu Emerging Sector Seed Fund by Aug 2023. These funds will be instrumental in expanding MrMed's team and reaching out to a wider customer base. The strategic allocation of resources aims to enhance operational efficiency and ensure the platform's high-quality healthcare services are accessible to more people across diverse regions. This funding marks a significant milestone in MrMed's growth trajectory, enabling it to revolutionize the e-pharmacy landscape further.

MrMed, Towards a Promising Tomorrow

As the journey continues, MrMed envisions a future where they remain pioneers in the super specialty segment.
