PharmEasy to
double its employee base in six months
The company
plans to expand its talent pool to 500 from a current strength of 200, which is
further expected to grow ten times over the next two years.
PharmEasy, a digital
facilitator connecting local pharmacies with consumers, recently announced that
it plans to rapidly expand its team in the next six months. In its bid to
further facilitate and make the process of accessing medicines hassle-free, the
company plans to more than double its talent pool to 500 from the current
strength of 200. This number is expected to further grow ten times over the
next two years.
The online health aggregator looks on course to achieve this
goal, having already doubled its talent pool in the last two months by adding
over 100 associates in its team. Since April last year, when PharmEasy started
its operation as a five-member team, it has grown to 200 employees already.
The diversified recruitment drive in PharmEasy, has been mainly
catering to two branches — tech and operations. In the former, back-end
engineers, front-end engineers, Android developers, iOS developers and data
scientists have been inducted. In the latter, process management, city
operations, area operations and strategic initiatives personnel have been
incorporated.
