Speaking on the need-gap the start-up is addressing, Gopal Krishna Panigrahy, Founder – PlusPin Healthcare was quoted as saying, “Today, the independent pharmacies have two options available to them to increase their earnings – expanding their consumer base or increasing margin on prescription/OTC products. However, the rise of the online pharmacy chains and the restrictive regulatory framework render these options ineffective.

“At PlusPin Healthcare, our goal is to help them engage and retain more customers by empowering their entrepreneurial vision. Our tech-based platform and data-driven social intelligence will establish them as healthcare points,” Panigrahy added.

“We will leverage the capital infusion to scale to key target cities, strengthen our tech infrastructure, and augmenting customer engagement and experience,” Santosh Kumar Panda, Founder, PlusPin said.
