Bengaluru-based health retail startup Plazza has raised $1.4 million in a seed funding round led by All In Capital, with participation from Better Capital, Tracxn founder Abhishek Goyal, Bounce co-founder Vivekananda Hallekere, the Singhania family office, and promoters of JK Tyre.
Founded in November 2024 by former Zomato executive Aman Priyadarshi and Aniruddha Sen, previously with Kenko Health, Plazza aims to redefine how urban pharmacies operate. Traditional chemists typically stock between 4,000 and 5,000 products. Plazza’s model, in contrast, offers over 20,000 stock keeping units (SKUs), accessible both in-store and through rapid doorstep delivery.
The company launched its first outlet in Yemalur, Bengaluru, earlier this year and plans to add two more stores in 2025. Over the next 12 months, it is targeting 20 outlets across the city, with an omnichannel presence that integrates physical storefronts with an app-led delivery network.
Since inception, Plazza has served over 10,000 customers, with sales growing at a reported 25 percent week-on-week. While its initial focus is on prescription and over-the-counter medicines, the company is also moving into wellness categories such as healthy snacks, mother and baby products, elder care essentials, and dermatology ranges.
The fresh capital will be directed towards expanding the retail footprint, strengthening logistics, and upgrading technology infrastructure. Investments are also planned in last-mile delivery capabilities, a crucial differentiator in healthcare retail where speed and reliability are directly linked to patient outcomes.
“With a broader catalogue, deep inventory, and faster delivery, Plazza is building a healthcare retail format that goes beyond conventional pharmacies,” Priyadarshi said, adding that the model is designed to scale quickly in urban markets.
Plazza’s rapid growth and backing from high-profile investors reflect the increasing demand for tech-enabled healthcare retail in India’s metro cities.
