Stating that the goal of the Hyderabad-headquartered company was to give access to medicines at affordable prices in all parts of the state, he said, retail expansion initiative would create a lot of entrepreneurs in tier II and III towns and generate employment of more than 1,000 people.
The move to expand retail outlets in Tamil Nadu was in the backdrop of the company tasting success in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
“In view of this, we have decided to replicate the model in other parts of the country through the current financial year”, he said.
Each MedPlus store spread across 300-500 square foot would require total investment of Rs 15-20 lakh that would cover franchise fee, rental deposit, infrastructure and stock required.
