Cipla's subsidiary Cipla Health has partnered with Swiggy, Zomato and Dunzo for home delivery of over-the-counter wellness products in India during lockdown.
With this tie-up, Cipla Health plans to cater to 400,000 people and cover 250 stores in 45 cities across India.
“We have collaborated with these premier delivery partners as their expertise coupled with our suppliers will allow us to reach out to a larger segment of the population," said Cipla Health CEO Shivam Puri.
"Our set of offerings are specially curated to meet the varying needs of our consumers especially in these times and hence, this association helps us in ensuring our products reach their consumers who are finding it difficult to purchase them due to the lockdown."
Zomato COO, Food Delivery, Mohit Sardana said that the company will employ its logistics capabilities to ensure users have easy access to OTC wellness products from the safety of their homes.
He added that the partnership will expand to tier-II cities soon.
"Our partnership with Cipla will ensure that health, hygiene and wellness products, which are just as essential, will reach customers in need as required," said Swiggy COO Vivek Sunder.
Dunzo CEO and Co-Founder Kabeer Biswas said that whether it is medicines for the sick or groceries for the elderly, the company is committed to helping cities and users fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
