Since its launch in February 2020, Apollo 24|7, India’s leading omni-channel digital health platform, has rapidly transformed healthcare access through technology. Offering seamless services in doctor consultations, diagnostics, medicine delivery, and wellness, the platform has found a stronghold in Telangana, especially Hyderabad, thanks to the state’s digital infrastructure and health-conscious population.
Robust Presence Across Telangana
With over 900 Apollo Pharmacy stores in Telangana—500 of them in Hyderabad—Apollo ensures that most residents live within 1–2 km of a pharmacy. This widespread presence supports the fulfillment of approximately 4.5 million monthly pharmacy orders across digital and physical channels. Notably, Hyderabad alone contributes 17% of all pharmacy orders in India.
Fastest Medicine Delivery in Healthcare
As per the press release, Apollo 24|7 recently launched India’s first 19-minute medicine delivery service in select Hyderabad pin codes, completing over 80,000 rapid deliveries. This quick-commerce initiative will soon expand across Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana, further boosting timely access to medicines.
Strategic Investment in Telangana
Apollo HealthCo CEO Madhivanan Balakrishnan emphasized Telangana’s strategic importance, citing its tech-savvy population and demand for quality care. “Our vision is to provide integrated, accessible, and affordable care, and Telangana is key to achieving that,” he said.
Foray into Insurance for Affordable Healthcare
To make healthcare more affordable, Apollo 24|7 Insurance Services, a fully-owned subsidiary, has secured regulatory approval to operate as a corporate agent. It will soon offer health, life, and general insurance tailored to user needs, powered by AI and Apollo’s health data insights. After a successful pilot, the company plans to launch insurance products from 12 insurers, aiming for ₹80 crore in revenue in the first year.
India’s First Health-First Credit Card
To address payment friction in healthcare, Apollo will soon launch India’s first health-first credit card, developed with a leading credit card issuer. Integrated with Apollo 24|7, it offers exclusive benefits on medicines, diagnostics, doctor consultations, and wellness for 150 million users.
Ultimate Health Challenge Promotes Preventive Care
To encourage preventive health checks, Apollo 24|7 has launched the Ultimate Health Challenge. Customers who undergo a health check and receive a 100% positive report will be fully refunded. This initiative fosters a culture of early detection and proactive health management.
Apollo’s digital health ecosystem continues to evolve—bridging access, affordability, and innovation.
