History
MrMed was conceived in August 2020 when Devashish Singh and Saurab Jain[3] noticed challenges in specialty medicines.[4] Despite facing initial setbacks due to the Covid Delta wave in India, which prompted the founders and their team to prioritize community assistance, MrMed was officially launched in June 2021.[1] The company launched its mobile app in March 2023 for access to speciality medicines for conditions such as cancer, transplants, kidney, or liver diseases. It also raised $500,000 in funding from the Tamil Nadu Emerging Sector Seed Fund (TNESSF) and angel investors.[5][6][7]
In 2024, the company expanded its operations by opening a retail store in Chennai through a partnership with BDK Pharma.[8]
