Startup Story Of HealthKart
Both the founders studied from foreign universities and always wanted to start something of their very own. Even while working at corporate jobs, they exchanged ideas together. While brainstorming the industries they should open a startup in, they saw the healthcare sector is quite messy and unorganized in India. So, they quit their jobs and returned to India to start HealthKart. They worked with doctors and health institutions before launching a consumer-facing unit.
