Human Resources Manager - Pharma

52% of the world can’t access essential healthcare: we’re a business that does something about it. Join us.

You get to be creative, move fast, own truly important things, grow, learn, and help people. We’re not a charity, we are redesigning how affordable healthcare is delivered through truly innovative business and service delivery models.

We already work with over half of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and have footholds in markets across Southeast Asia, India and Africa. We will be expanding rapidly over the next year and entering a number of new regions and markets.

What is our scale in India?

As of 2024, we worked with:

• 72,000 pharmacy and doctor network

• 400+ distributors stocking products

• 300+ field force

We are proud to say that we:
