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

Why this matters

The store fits Reliance Retail’s recent omnichannel pattern: Netmeds’ Chennai offline push was previously reported as a January 2023 development, while JioMart grocery ordering within WhatsApp launched in August 2022.

Omni-channel is steady, with 1,684 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
