In a nation where instant delivery is becoming the norm, the wait for vital medications can still stretch between 24 to 48 hours. Repill, a health-tech startup based in Delhi, is addressing this issue with its promise of delivering medicines within an hour.
Unlike traditional e-pharmacy platforms that use centralized warehouses and extensive supply chains, Repill utilizes an asset-light model. It partners with local pharmacies and employs its Smart Inventory Matching Technology, which instantly connects orders to the nearest pharmacy with the required medication. This system facilitates quick and efficient deliveries.
This innovative approach not only improves delivery times but also supports local pharmacies by expanding their digital presence. Local businesses gain increased visibility and sales without the need for large-scale logistics or dark stores; customers receive their medications quickly. Repill’s platform combines modern delivery platform convenience with the trust people place in their neighborhood pharmacies.
The core mission of Repill extends beyond rapid delivery. The platform also helps streamline prescription management. According to Rajat Gupta, the Silicon Valley veteran and founder of Repill, “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.”
Launched in January 2025, Repill has already achieved significant results. The platform boasts partnerships with multiple pharmacies, over 1,000 app downloads, and over 200 successful deliveries with an average delivery time of 30 to 40 minutes. Repill is now planning an aggressive expansion targeting Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, as the need for dependable medicine delivery is most apparent in those regions.
With technology as its foundation and strategic partnerships driving its growth, Repill is emerging as a key player in transforming India’s healthcare accessibility. For many users and partner pharmacies, Repill is more than simply a delivery platform—it’s an essential service.
