PlatinumRx Drives Affordable Branded Generics Across India
PlatinumRx is a new company in India that sells medicines that are just as good as the big brand names but cheaper.
It was started by two college graduates, Ashutosh and Piyush, in September 2023.
The company has already helped its customers save more than 137 crore rupees on their medicine bills.
All the medicines come from factories that meet strict safety rules and are checked by doctors.
PlatinumRx has warehouses in many places so it can deliver most orders in two days, and it plans to open more warehouses to reach even more people.
PlatinumRx offers quality‑assured branded generic medicines at lower prices.
Customers have collectively saved over Rs. 137 crore on prescriptions.
The platform serves more than 1 million users across 19,000+ PIN codes nationwide.
All medicines are sourced from WHO‑GMP certified manufacturers and vetted by medical professionals.
