 <\/p>\n

PhonePe\u2019s hyperlocal delivery platform Pincode has expanded its services to launch round-the-clock medicine delivery in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Pune. This new feature promises to deliver prescription and over-the-counter medicines within 10 minutes, anytime, day or night.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Hyperlocal Model Over Dark Stores<\/b><\/h3>\n

Unlike traditional e-pharmacies that rely on dark stores or centralized warehouses, Pincode sources medicines directly from nearby local chemists. This approach not only speeds up delivery times but also supports small businesses, giving local vendors a stronger digital presence.<\/span><\/p>\n

By embedding neighbourhood pharmacies into its logistics network, Pincode is adopting a \u201clocal-first\u201d model aimed at building both speed and trust in healthcare delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Empowering Pharmacies and Consumers<\/b><\/h3>\n

Vivek Lohcheb<\/a>, CEO of Pincode, emphasized the dual impact of the move:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is to enhance healthcare accessibility and convenience while empowering local medical shops. The 10-minute delivery ensures timely access to medicines, and our doctor-on-call feature helps bridge gaps in access.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This approach addresses both the consumer need for instant healthcare access and the small business need for digital empowerment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free Doctor Consultations for Non-Prescription Orders<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pincode is also solving a common friction point\u2014users without prescriptions. Customers can now select the \u201cno prescription\u201d option at checkout and receive a free teleconsultation from a certified doctor. If medically appropriate, a digital prescription is issued\u2014compliant with India\u2019s telemedicine laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

This feature ensures that urgent, non-critical medication needs are met responsibly, especially during odd hours or in emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zero Delivery Charges, Direct Discounts<\/b><\/h3>\n

Unlike many other players in the quick commerce space, Pincode is keeping things consumer-friendly:<\/span><\/p>\n
