Healthcare company Taskar, which has been offering pharmacy, lab, and clinic services at affordable costs since 2020, created Medino's, a separate service for quick delivery of medicines, three months ago. The company owns 103 stores—what it calls healthcare malls—that operate as dark stores for quick service.
"We have been delivering medicines within 30 minutes since 2022, but as there has been a wave of quick commerce, we decided to create a separate brand for the quick service. We started Medino's (like Domino's), which offers delivery of medicines in 30 minutes or free," CEO Prasoon Pal told Mint.
Former Zomato executive Aman Priyadarshi recently started Plazza, a 15-minute medicine delivery service in Bengaluru, after observing glaring gaps in the segment.
