Mumbai, May 6 (UNI) Medlife, India’s largest online pharmacy has announced the acquisition of Bengaluru-based medicine delivery startup Myra Medicines.
Medlife recently crossed the 1000 cr plus run rate as of March 2019.
The company expects to achieve overall sales of 1500 cr with an exit run rate of 2000 cr over the next financial year. Myra’s acquisition will enable Medlife to strengthen its pharma business and accrue profits, a release said.

enable Myra Medicines to increase margins and meet the increasing demand making the latter profitable by this quarter itself.

We are currently servicing over 20,000 deliveries every day across 29 states and having Myra on board will further strengthen our standing as a
