Live in Hyderabad

The platform behind the pharmacy
on your corner.

Pharmocia is an end-to-end medicine ordering and delivery platform. One system carries an order from a customer’s phone, through a licence-verified local pharmacy, to a verified handover at the door — and keeps a record of every step in between.

01The platform

Two applications. One system of record.

A customer watching an order move and the pharmacist who accepted it are looking at the same order, seconds apart. Pharmocia keeps both on one backend and one database, so nothing has to be reconciled after the fact.

02How an order moves

From a search box to a verified handover.

Six steps, in the order they happen. Each one is a state the order is actually in — not a stage in a diagram.

  1. 01

    Search

    The customer finds what they need by medicine name, brand or category.

  2. 02

    Cart and prescription

    Prescription-only items are gated in the cart. Nothing reaches checkout without one attached.

  3. 03

    Checkout

    Address, delivery fee, discounts and taxes are itemised, and the bill is settled up front.

  4. 04

    The pharmacy accepts

    A licence-verified partner pharmacy takes the order, reviews it and prepares it.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    The pharmacy carries it, or a courier does. That choice is made after acceptance.

  6. 06

    Verified handover

    A code confirms the order reached the right person. Every step is timestamped.

03Prescriptions

A pharmacist decides. Software only reads.

Upload a prescription and the platform transcribes what it can see — medicine names, strengths, quantities — so a pharmacist does not have to type them out. That is the whole of its job.

It does not approve, substitute, or reject. Where an image is unclear, the order is marked unchecked and a person looks at it. The decision to dispense belongs to the pharmacy, every time, and the record shows who made it.

Extraction is a convenience. Judgement is a pharmacist’s, and the platform is built so it cannot quietly become anything else.

  1. 1
    Upload

    A photo of the prescription is attached to the cart.

  2. 2
    Read

    Software transcribes what it can see, to save typing.

  3. 3
    Review

    A pharmacist checks the transcription against the image.

  4. 4
    Decide

    The pharmacy dispenses, substitutes, or declines.

04Delivery

Two methods, and no hybrid.

A pharmacy either carries the order itself or hands it to a courier. The partner decides per order, after accepting it — and because the bill is settled at checkout, that choice never changes what the customer pays.

05Payments and money

Every rupee leaves a record.

Itemised, always

Item total, delivery fee, discounts and taxes appear separately — on screen, and again on the invoice.

Payments held at arm’s length

Online payments run through established payment providers. Card details never touch Pharmocia.

Refunds are records

Money returned is written down against its cause, so a single cause can never credit twice.

Settlements that reconcile

Pharmacies get a running statement of what they are owed, with refunds and adjustments carried through.

06For pharmacies

Come online without changing how you work.

Pharmocia does not take over your counter. You keep your shelf, your prices and your judgement — the platform brings you the orders and keeps the paperwork straight.

Demand from your own area

Orders come from customers already near your counter.

Your shelf, your prices

You decide what you list and what you charge for it.

One queue, not five screens

New orders, prescription reviews and pickups in a single view.

Money you can check

A settlement statement you can reconcile line by line.

07Trust and safety

Healthcare software should be answerable.

Not a list of promises — a list of mechanisms. Each of these is something the platform does, and can be asked about afterwards.

Licence-verified partners

A pharmacy’s business and licence details are reviewed before it can be listed, and verification gates the shelf — an unverified store cannot be selected for an order.

Pharmacist-led review

Prescription medicines pass through a dedicated review journey. Where an image cannot be read confidently, it is flagged for a person rather than guessed at.

Separated by design

Customers, pharmacies and operators each see only their own side of an order. Account standing is re-checked on every single request, not once at sign-in.

Written down as it happens

Order, payment and delivery events are recorded when they occur, so what happened to an order can be answered later without guesswork.

Verified handover

A delivery is closed by a code held by the person receiving it — confidence that the medicine reached the right doorstep.

Failing loudly, not quietly

When a dependency is unavailable the platform says so and stops. Nothing fabricates a success that did not happen.

08Availability

Live in Hyderabad.

Two mobile apps, built for the two sides of the counter, both live on Google Play. Coverage grows a pharmacy at a time — each one verified before it takes its first order.

09Questions

Answered directly, not buried in a policy.

Is Pharmocia available in my city?

Pharmocia is currently live in Hyderabad. Coverage grows one verified pharmacy at a time — each store is checked before it can take its first order.

How fast is delivery?

The target delivery window is 15–20 minutes once a pharmacy accepts an order, carried either by the pharmacy's own rider or by a partner courier network.

Do I need a prescription to order medicines?

Only for prescription-only items, and only in the cart — they're gated there until a photo of the prescription is attached. Software transcribes what it can see; a pharmacist checks it against the image and decides whether to dispense, substitute, or decline.

Can I pay cash on delivery?

Yes, when the pharmacy delivers the order itself. Cash on delivery isn't available through the courier network — that's the one thing the two delivery methods don't have in common, and it never changes what you pay.

How does a pharmacy become a Pharmocia partner?

Apply from the Pharmocia Partner app: tell us about the pharmacy and the area it serves, its business and licence details get verified, then you load your shelf, set your prices, and choose how you deliver before orders start arriving.

Who actually dispenses the medicines?

Independent, licence-verified partner pharmacies — never Pharmocia. Pharmocia is the technology platform connecting them to the people who need them; the decision to dispense always rests with the pharmacist.

Get your medicines.
Or bring your pharmacy on board.

One platform, two ways in — one app for the person ordering, one for the pharmacy dispensing. Both are on their way to the App Store and Google Play.
