“Being on time shows that you care,” – Nick Saban

Key Takeaways:

• We’re launching India’s first ‘On-Time or FREE!’ diagnostic sample collection service.
• If our technicians don’t arrive within the booked time slot, the entire test is FREE, i.e., you will get 100% cashback on your cart value.
• Seen 99.6% slot adherence in our pilot on the back of capacity enhancements, training and product innovations.
• Any cost incurred on this promotion will be borne by PharmEasy. Technicians will not be pressurized in any way nor penalized for missing the booking slot.

We recently expanded our healthcare services to diagnostics with the launch of PharmEasy Labs. This is our attempt to bring the same dedication, ease and care from the world of medicine to everything diagnostics. Currently, we offer diagnostic services across 2500+ pin codes and cover 400+ cities in India with over 400+ tests and packages. This year, over 10 Lakh people have already used our diagnostics services to get safely tested at home.

PharmEasy Labs – Introducing ‘On-Time or FREE!’ Sample Collection

During our research, one of the biggest pain points we came across was the uncertainty customers have to undergo while waiting at a diagnostic centre or even at home to collect their samples. Often people are on an empty stomach, hungry and just want this ordeal to get over.

With that in mind, we are introducing a first-of-its-kind service in diagnostic testing called ‘On-time or FREE!’ If our technicians don’t arrive within the time slot requested, we will do the entire test for FREE, i.e., you will get 100% cashback on your cart value. No more asking ‘Mera number kab aayega?’ or ‘Aur kitna time wait karein?’

How does this work, you ask?

It’s simple. Just choose a preferred date and time slot for your sample collection. The technicians will arrive before or within the specified time slot. The samples will be then sent for processing and reports will be generated within the timeline stated in the test. And now with the ‘On-time or FREE!’ feature, if we don’t reach you as per the scheduled time, your entire test will be on us, i.e, you will get 100% cashback on your cart value! When you book a lab test through the PharmEasy app, website or over a call, you can avail this feature. A few exceptions we ask you to allow us – is to be late for exceptional circumstances like rain delays, festivals, special events or under circumstances where delay occurs due to incorrect delivery information shared.

This commitment comes on the back of strong teamwork and building a robust infrastructure. Ensuring sufficient technician capacity to handle peak time volumes, training to ensure adherence and game-changing tech and product innovations. We were delighted to see a 99.6% success rate in our pilot, giving us the confidence to scale this further and roll it out in all metros and select tier-1 cities. Needless to say, our team of technicians are not pressurized in any way to meet booking slot commitments and will have no financial penalties due to this feature. Any cost incurred in terms of free tests will be borne by PharmEasy completely.

This is one of our first attempts to delight our customers and disrupt the diagnostic category. Expect a lot more innovation from us in the next couple of months in this space! Do give this service and us a try when you are looking to get yourself tested next time.

Stay tuned and healthy!

AHMEDABAD, India, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC), a leading mining PSU enterprise and one of the largest lignite seller in the country, announced that they are keen to establish a Rare Earth Elements (REE) Processing Plant in the country. As REEs are essential for developing green energy technologies like permanent magnets for Electric Vehicles & wind turbines and LEDs, thereby helping India reduce carbon footprint.

India is looking at transitioning to green energy across various verticals, and it is here that GMDC is looking at conducting a scoping study to determine the economic viability of the project and outline at least one opportunity to develop the processing plant for the deposit at Ambadongar, Chotaudepur District in Gujarat state in India.

As the next stage for entry into the sector and setting up the business, GMDC proposes to conduct a pre-economic assessment for the Ambadongar deposit involving, among other things, formulating a process flow design and all relevant testing for beneficiation and REE oxide production in line with Government of Gujarat’s vision of establishing a complete value chain for Rare Earth Elements in Gujarat, estimating the investments required for such ventures and possible returns over the project time horizon.

“The REE exploration project will create high possibilities of producing REE ore in India and will encourage the country to become one of the leading players in the global market, which will also benefit the economic and strategic development of the country. Hence, we at GMDC will ensure the establishment of a complete value chain for REE elements, estimating the investments required for ventures with possible returns over time in the State,” said Shri Roopwant Singh, IAS, Managing Director, GMDC.

Being a domain of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), the Government of India, the state of Gujarat, is planning to develop mining and processing of REE  in the strategic locations of the state and make Gujarat a RE processing hub for such ores mined in India and abroad. It plans to set up mining operations, beneficiation plants, and value addition projects in the proximate zone of such minable resources and make India a rare earth powerhouse. The exploration of REE in the State has been taken up extensively by the Atomic Minerals Directorate (AMD) & the Geological Survey of India (GSI) in conjunction with each other.

Rare Earth Elements classified as ‘Strategic minerals’, also called Rare Earth Metals, are 17 lustrous soft heavy metals with various applications in electrical and electronic components, lasers, glass, magnetic materials, and industrial processes. These are used in multiple industrial applications, including electronics, clean energy, aerospace, automotive, and defence.

The products were launched at the Superzoo, North America’s largest pet retail event

100% natural pet care start-up, Dogsee, added another feather in its cap in the form of two brand new product lines, Dogsee Veda and Dogsee Gigabites. The new line of Ayurvedic Shampoos and Wholesome Cookies for dogs was launched by English Cricketer and World Cup Winning Bowler Liam Edward Plunkett at SuperZoo, North America’s biggest pet retail event.

Dogsee new launch in the US

With these launches, Dogsee aims to capture a higher share of the natural pet care market that is growing exponentially across the globe.

Dogsee Veda is part of the brand’s new product segment Hygiene for Dogs where pet owners can choose from a range of natural shampoos for their dogs. This category includes Dogsee Veda Oatmeal: Hypoallergenic Dog Shampoo, Dogsee Veda Tea Tree: Odour Control Dog Shampoo, Dogsee Veda Coconut: Shed Control Dog Shampoo, and Dogsee Veda Aloe Vera: Itch Relief Dog Shampoo. These Dogsee Veda shampoos are made using Ayurvedic formula-complete with natural materials that are devoid of toxins, making them great for all dog skin types.

Continuing with their efforts to bring nourishing and natural food to all dogs, the Dogsee team has also added Dogsee Gigabites to their existing bouquet of healthy dog treats. The new Dogsee Gigabites, available in multiple flavours like Pumpkin & Cinnamon, Banana Yogurt, Apple & Peanut and Carrot & Coconut, are wholesome gluten-free cookies. These long lasting treats are great to taste and are an excellent way to meet your dog’s nutritional requirements.

Bhupendra Khanal, Co-founder, Dogsee states, “Dogsee’s vision has always been to improve pet care in the most natural way. While the treats will always be close to our hearts, we know that it is not enough, especially in a market which is saturated with chemically laced products. This is why, as a part of our health segment, we introduced Dogsee Veda. As the name suggests, this line is backed by Ayurveda, allowing only natural materials to touch our sensitive floofs. Our new addition Dogsee Gigabites holds a lot of promise for the dog treat segment as it is made with high-quality ingredients, natural sweetness of honey and jaggery, and gluten-free making it suitable for all dogs. It is exciting to see these new product lines in the market and look forward to growing further in this domain.”

During the launch event Liam Edward Plunkett said, “It is impressive to see such unique products for our canine friends launched by Dogsee. As a daily treat option for dogs, I am sure that pet parents will see value in this new offering from Dogsee.”

Catering to customers across India, U.S, and Europe, Dogsee is a global brand with a traditional twist. While most materials are sourced from the Himalayan regions, Dogsee is headquartered in Bengaluru and recently set up an additional yet expansive unit in the city with a vision to accommodate growing demand and product lines. The start-up has also set up a dedicated team of people comprising procurement, R&D, sales and marketing and research to upscale the quality and innovation in the pet care industry.
