Repill’s One-Hour Medicine Delivery: A Healthcare Game Changer in India
New Delhi, India – In a nation accustomed to rapid delivery services for almost everything, the extended wait times for essential medicines have long been a significant challenge. Repill, a health-tech startup based in Delhi, is tackling this problem head-on with its commitment to delivering medications within a remarkable 60 minutes.
Repill is achieving this rapid turnaround by combining cutting-edge technology with an expanding network of local pharmacy partners. This innovative approach ensures that critical healthcare needs are met with exceptional speed and reliability.
Unlike conventional e-pharmacy platforms reliant on centralized warehouses and complex supply chains, Repill operates on an asset-light model. Utilizing its proprietary Smart Inventory Matching Technology, Repill efficiently aggregates inventory data from its network of pharmacies. This system instantly scans the network to identify and route orders to the nearest pharmacy with the necessary medication. This approach streamlines the delivery process and significantly reduces delivery times.
This innovation offers multiple benefits. Local pharmacies gain increased digital visibility, enhancing their sales potential without investing more in infrastructure. Customers benefit from the convenience of a modern delivery system.
Repill’s mission aims beyond just speed. The platform also streamlines prescription management and encourages responsible pharmaceutical use. By fostering closer bonds among local pharmacies and the communities they serve, Repill is contributing to a more accessible and equitable healthcare system. This commitment aligns with the startup’s vision of providing high-quality healthcare to everyone, regardless of their location.
Repill was founded by Rajat Gupta, a Silicon Valley veteran with eight years of experience in technology development. Gupta returned to India with the goal of addressing real-world challenges in the country’s healthcare sector.
“We’re not here to compete with pharmacies; we’re here to empower them. Every order placed on Repill supports a local business while ensuring patients receive the medicines they need without delay,” Gupta stated.
Launched in January 2025, Repill has already gained substantial traction. The app has been downloaded over 1,000 times and handled over 200 successful orders, with an average delivery time of 30 to 40 minutes. Its initial success in South Delhi is paving the way for expansion to Noida in April 2025, which will include the onboarding of more local pharmacy partners. Repill’s ambitions extend beyond metropolitan areas, with plans for rapid expansion into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where the need for dependable medicine delivery is even greater.
As Repill continues its growth, the company remains dedicated to its promise of swift and dependable medicine delivery. With its core focus on technology and partnerships, Repill is poised to revolutionize how healthcare is accessed in India.
