Key Strength of PharmEasy:
With these capabilities of their scaled presence, they now touch stakeholders across healthcare – consumers, pharmaceutical companies, wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals, doctors and clinics and diagnostic and radiology labs. This presence allows them to offer integrated bouquet of products, services and technology to all stakeholders, with each having an ability to cross-sell services and products of one stakeholder to the other or their customers. As an illustration, pharmacies which are using the Retailio platform for their procurement and payments, can use Marg ERP Limited’s systems for their technology backbone, become a seller on the PharmEasy marketplace, offer tele-consult services by tying up with Docon and use the extensive Thyrocare network to provide diagnostic services.
This unique flywheel provides multiple stakeholders an opportunity to offer holistic healthcare solutions to the consumers, beyond their core service or product offering. Further, these solutions can be offered in a manner which is agnostic to the manner with which the consumers access the stakeholders, whether online or offline, and irrespective of where they would like to avail such services at their home or at point of sale.
They work closely with, and build technology-enabled services for consumers, pharmaceutical companies, wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals, doctors and clinics and diagnostic and radiology labs. Their growing nationwide presence, the connected ecosystem approach, and multiple synergistic offerings have enabled them to build relationships with various stakeholders of the healthcare value chain. PharmEasy is India’s leading consumer healthcare super app for consumers (providing online pharmacy, OTC, teleconsultation and diagnostics services) in terms of GMV of products and services sold on the platform in the financial year 2021 according to the RedSeer Report.

The company's revenue has grown massively increasing from INR 737.4 Cr in FY'20 to INR 2360.6 Cr in FY'21. This increase is mainly attributable to the massive rise in demand for pharmaceuticals due to the spread the of pandemic across the country. The assets of the company have shown a massive growth of 757% in FY'21 over FY'20. This growth in assets is attributable to the increase in cash and cash equivalents which have increased mainly due to the increase in deposit accounts by INR150.0 Cr in FY'21. The major reason of increase in assets is the growth in the goodwill value which has increased from INR 0.7 Cr in FY'20 to INR 3192.1 Cr in FY'21, which is because of the acquisition of Ascent Health as well as Medlife International including its subsidiaries in FY'21.
The cash flow from operations has further decreased by INR 361.6 Cr in FY'21 over FY'20. This is due to the large loss faced by the company in FY'21 as well as the increase in current liabilities which is mainly attributable to the large increase in the company's short term borrowings in FY'21.
