Reliance Retail has entered offline pharmaceutical retail by opening a Netmeds store in Chennai, extending the digital pharmacy brand into physical retail.

Why this matters

The Chennai launch reinforces Reliance Retail’s recent Netmeds offline push, while its prior JioMart rollout via WhatsApp and kirana partnerships shows broader omnichannel distribution efforts.

Store openings are steady, with 1,476 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
