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

Why this matters

The Chennai Netmeds store follows Reliance Retail's AJIO Beauty launch and its move to link Tira with AJIO's fashion marketplace, extending the group's connected digital-and-physical retail strategy into healthcare.

Omni-channel activity is steady, with 1,383 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
