History

MrMed was conceived in August 2020 when Devashish Singh [4] and Saurab Jain [5] noticed challenges in specialty medicines. [6] Despite facing initial setbacks due to the COVID Delta wave in India, [7] which prompted the founders and their team to prioritize community assistance, MrMed was officially launched in June 2021. [2] The company launched its mobile app in March 2023 for access to speciality medicines for conditions such as cancer, transplants, kidney, or liver diseases. [8] It also raised $500,000 in funding from the Tamil Nadu Emerging Sector Seed Fund (TNESSF) and angel investors. [9] [10] [11]

Operations

MrMed's headquarters are in Chennai, with dispatch hubs located in Delhi and Bangalore. According to the Economic Times, the company reported an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of ₹26 crore. [2] In April 2024, the company entered the offline retail segment with the opening of its first store in Chennai. [12]

Awards and recognition

In 2022, MrMed was awarded the Health Care Start-up Of The Year by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in Chennai, presented by Ma. Subramanian, the Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of Tamil Nadu. [13] [3]
