The award recognizes contributions in the area of healthcare innovation that have made a measurable impact in the country.
- (1888PressRelease) August 27, 2019 - Medlife, India’s largest e-health company, recently bagged the award for the Best Healthcare Startup at the 11th Edition of the FICCI Healthcare Excellence Awards 2019. The felicitation ceremony was held on 20th August 2019 at Le Meridien, New Delhi. The Healthcare Startup award is given to an organization that has implemented an innovation that has scaled to create a measurable impact in the Indian healthcare industry.
Medlife is the largest e-health company in India today with three business lines including pharmacy, diagnostics and e-consultation. Since its inception in November 2014 by Prashant Singh and Tushar Kumar has scaled rapidly to become the first e-pharmacy to clock 1000-crore revenue run rate. The brand recently appointed Mr. Ananth Narayanan (former CEO of Myntra and Jabong and ex McKinsey Senior Partner) as its Co-Founder and CEO. Post its acquisition of Myra Medicines, India’s only express pharmacy delivery service, Medlife now controls the largest share of the e-pharmacy market, a space that is on way to become the next big disruptor after the food delivery service.

Ltd said, “We are extremely delighted to receive this award and to be recognized by an eminent body such as FICCI. This is a reaffirmation that Medlife is moving in the right direction in terms of ensuring access to affordable and quality healthcare access to its consumers through its offerings.
