In the country today, most of the retail pharmacy outlets are unable to cater to all the medical needs of the customers, and often we hear them saying that they do not have the prescriptions available or the medicine is out of stock. Besides that, the healthcare sector is cluttered with miscreants who are selling a lot of fake and low-quality drugs. Dileep Byra and Maruthi Medisetti took note of this prevailing contingency and observed that the retail space is suffering from a limitation of SKUs, a problem that does not exist on the online platform. During that moment, Maruthi felt the need to build a platform that would deliver 100 percent genuine medicine and also solve the problem of availability. And that is how MetroMedi came into being. “It used to happen a lot of times when my family members would go to a pharmacist to buy medicine, but they were asked to come back again after a few days due to the non-availability. It was then that I realized the problem of this particular sector and came up with the idea of setting up MetroMedi,” says Maruthi Medisetti, Co-Founder & CEO, MetroMedi.
