Healthkart is a small bunch of people who got together to solve a big gap - access to quality health solutions.
As we went about it, we realized that electronic commerce was perhaps the medium most effective. We are using this platform to build a vast and meaningful network for the health needs we have every day. When we grow up, we want to be the country's premier health network.
Since 2011, we have grown to become the destination online for health supplements, health, fitness and wellness products, elderly care and diabetes products, and sexual care accessories.
How it all came together?
We got lucky. We worked really hard to be lucky though. Before we came together, we all had worked with good companies and in key roles. Some of the hard work we put together is right here..
We're a startup of 400 people.
Our team is hand-picked. Most of us worked in start-ups before landing here so we brought with us and nurtured a culture of doing things fast, failing quickly and putting all that we learnt in our next idea. We also are mostly from premier institutes from around the world, but proud to say that we learnt most when we were on the job.
We do what's right by you. We value authenticity over everything else.
We sell consumables that you need rather than want. In such cases, the authenticity of the product matters. If you are taking diabetes strips, we better ensure that it is the original. Or if you are taking whey as a supplement, we have to ensure they are authentic, especially when more than half the market is flooded with fakes pumped with steroids. We maintain our own warehouse instead of depending on third party vendors. We also source directly from the manufacturer and authorized resellers. All just to make sure what you get is right. We don't want to fight on price, frankly we can't. What we can fight on would be value for money and curated quality products, not to mention authentic ones.
