Close to a million customers have registered for the online pharmacy’s services till date, says Sheth. PharmEasy is also using a lot of automation in its services to let registered customers purchase medicines easily by automatically replenishing their stock. The company raised $17 million in a Series B funding from Bessemer Venture Partners and Orios Venture Partners in January 2017.
