Supported by a network of physical counselling and service centres called Healthbuddies, the service verticals of SastaSundar are Pharmacy, Diagnostics and Wellness.
SastaSundar is building its business block by block, and it is already fully operational in the Indian states of West Bengal, Delhi-Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Uttarakhand and in the North Eastern parts of India. With two Area Logistics Centres already up and running in West Bengal and Noida, the 3rd Area Logistics Centre and Healthbuddy network have now been initiated in Maharashtra as well. The places where the organisation is not building its Healthbuddy network currently, are being serviced via courier and therefore, SastaSundar is sufficing doorstep delivery to customers almost across PAN India.

During the COVID-19 disruption period of April to June 2020, SastaSundar delivered 18 lakh+ orders right to the consumer doorsteps following all safety protocols. With its efficient model, SastaSundar is the first company in India, in the e-pharmacy space, to almost break even.
The organisation’s endeavours captured the Government’s attention as well. In August 2020, the SastaSundar app was handpicked by GOI as one of India’s best AatmaNirbhar App in the ‘Digital India AatmaNirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge’.
The consistent efforts of SastaSundar to address India’s healthcare problems have garnered support from marquee investors like Mitsubishi Corporation & Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Taking inspiration from the Government’s ‘Fit India Movement’, SastaSundar started its programme ‘YANA Diet Clinic’ - a unique online diet clinic to help one lose weight and reduce medicine intake. Apart from auto meal plans which get generated in a matter of seconds, one can also opt for Personalised Diet Consultation with senior YANA Clinic dietitians. With its steady and sincere efforts, the diet clinic has already reached a customer base exceeding 25k.

This delivers a seamless and bespoke user experience.

Integrated Search rendering results related to keywords pertaining to Medicines, Wellness Products, Diagnostic Tests, Doctors and Articles, in a single box is a unique property of SastaSundar. The organisation is a pioneer in this space.
Innovation and industriousness run in the vein of SastaSundar. The organisation accepted the challenge of COVID-19 with full caution and preparedness. It started preparing in mid-February, and by lockdown, it was ready to seamlessly supply medicine, healthcare and OTC products (including essentials like masks, sanitisers, thermometers) to the customers’ doorstep. Not even for a minute were the services closed.
SastaSundar also built one of the largest Knowledge Resource Centres on COVID-19: a website and app library with a huge repository of articles, video, infographics, informative posters and health guideline adaptations which amount to nearly 1000+ collaterals in various formats. All information are drafted/vetted by in-house specialists and domain experts, and are absolutely free to be accessed by all.

4 年In the year 2015 when I was in indiamart.com I used to visit my client office situated at Howrah and discussion about sastasundar which is located opposite to my client office. My client was always telling me "yaar online koun kharida tha hai medicine" and i always telling him "sir future yahi hai aap bhi karo". After seeing the performance of this company and i proudly said that i was right... kudos to Sasta sundar team..
