About This Business

Open a retail pharmacy or medical store. Healthcare retail is a recession-proof business in India with consistent demand. You need a registered pharmacist (B.Pharm/D.Pharm) to run the store legally. Margins on medicines are regulated but ancillary products like supplements, OTC drugs, and medical devices offer better profits.
