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

Why this matters

The Chennai Netmeds store follows Reliance Retail's JioMart ordering launch within WhatsApp in August 2022 and its June 2020 WhatsApp-led kirana commerce scale-up, extending the group's digital-to-physical retail strategy.

Omni-channel is steady at 1,681 signals in 90 days; no QoQ change figure was provided.
