Reliance Retail's Netmeds offline push resurfaces: first Chennai pharmacy store from January 2023
Reliance Retail had opened a Netmeds physical pharmacy in Chennai back in January 2023, extending the digital health brand into brick-and-mortar retail and signalling an omnichannel push in medicines and healthcare.
Reliance Retail entered offline pharmaceutical retail by opening a Netmeds store in Chennai, extending the digital pharmacy brand into physical retail.
Why this matters
The move aligns with resurfaced signals on Netmeds' Chennai physical-store debut and Reliance Retail's earlier JioMart WhatsApp-led kirana commerce rollout, showing a pattern of linking digital services with offline retail.
Omni-channel signals are accelerating, up +196,500% QoQ.
