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 Netmeds store followed Reliance Retail's earlier JioMart rollout through WhatsApp and kirana partnerships, extending its digital-to-physical retail play as major Indian retailers continue expanding offline stores.

Omni-channel is steady, with 1,508 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
