About us

The chemist round the corner, with a delivery van.

Most medicine delivery works by moving stock into a warehouse and shipping it across the country. The Local Pharmacy does the opposite: it leaves the medicine where it already is — on the shelf of a licensed pharmacy near you — and moves the order instead.

That is why stock is real, why the price is the shop’s own rather than an MRP, and why a pharmacist you could walk to is the one reading your prescription.

How we work

Four things we will not trade away

  • A real shop, not a warehouse

    Your order is dispensed by a licensed pharmacy in your area, from its own stock, by its own registered pharmacist. We are the platform between you and that counter, not a distributor with a dark store.

  • The whole bill, before you pay

    Delivery is priced by distance from the shop filling your order to the pin on your address, and every fee is itemised with the reason for it. Nothing is added after you have paid.

  • Prescriptions stay private

    A prescription is read by the pharmacist dispensing it and by nobody else. It is not shown to other pharmacies, not used for marketing, and never sold.

  • One shop fills the whole order

    We look for a single pharmacy that holds everything you asked for, so an order arrives once rather than in pieces. If nothing in range has all of it, you are told which item before you pay.

Where we are

Kolkata first, street by street.

We turn on an area only once enough licensed pharmacies in it can genuinely fill orders. A coverage map that promises more than the shops behind it can deliver is how a medicine order becomes a missed dose, so the map stays smaller than the ambition until the shops catch up.

Run a pharmacy in Kolkata?

We onboard shops with a current retail drug licence and a registered pharmacist on the premises.
