Built by a doctor. For the family next door.

Faster Pharmacy is a doctor-owned, licensed pharmacy in Thane — founded to make quality healthcare accessible at home, before the next health crisis arrives at your doorstep.

Why Faster Pharmacy exists

During the second COVID wave, Dr. Kothari, a frontline ICU doctor, witnessed the healthcare system buckle under pressure. Families struggled to find oxygen concentrators, medicines, and the right equipment in time. Hospitals could only do so much, and everything beyond their walls was left to chance.

This experience led to his belief that India needs a new category of healthcare infrastructure — one that operates outside the hospital, delivering the same quality and reliability directly to homes.

The turning point came when Dr. Kothari, suffering from a migraine, spent an hour calling pharmacies trying to get the right medicine delivered. As a doctor, he couldn’t get a simple medicine delivered reliably. Realizing this was a common issue, he created Faster Pharmacy.

Faster Pharmacy provides home delivery of medicines, baby care, and medical equipment with a focus on quality and timely delivery. This is the same pharmacy Dr. Kothari’s family uses, with the same supply chain, quality checks, and delivery standards. This approach is not just a policy but the core of how Faster Pharmacy operates.

Mission

To deliver fast, reliable access to medicines, baby care products, and medical equipment — ensuring every family receives healthcare that is timely, genuine, and brings the standard of a good pharmacy to their doorstep.

Vision

To build resilient, technology-driven healthcare infrastructure assets for India — creating a new category of care that operates outside the hospital and serves families before, during, and after a health crisis.

The founder

Dr. (Capt) Akshay Kothari

MBBS, AFMC Pune | Ex-Indian Army Medical Officer | Healthcare Founder & Operator

Dr. Kothari, an MBBS graduate from the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC), Pune, served as a medical officer in the Indian Army, leading advanced out-of-hospital medical services in field conditions. This experience gave him unique insight into healthcare delivery under resource constraints.

During the second COVID wave, Dr. Kothari worked as a frontline ICU doctor, which deepened his belief that the gap in India’s healthcare system lies not inside hospitals but outside them. He went on to build a telehealth team and founded a healthtech company, scaling healthcare services beyond the clinic. His experience in geriatric care exposed him to the challenges faced by elderly patients managing long-term health at home, an underserved segment.

Faster Pharmacy is Dr. Kothari’s most personal venture, built around a problem he’s faced first-hand, serving families with healthcare challenges he understands from both sides of the doctor-patient relationship.
