About API Holdings

**API Holdings — company profile** PharmEasy is an Indian online pharmacy and digital healthcare platform founded in 2015 by Dharmil Sheth and Dhaval Shah, headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The company began with seed capital from the founders' families and grew into one of India's largest e-pharmacy platforms, selling prescription and over-the-counter medicines, running diagnostic test bookings, and offering telehealth consultations through a single consumer app and website. PharmEasy operates as a subsidiary of API Holdings Limited, the parent entity that also houses several other healthcare businesses in the group, including Docon, Aknamed, Retailio and Thyrocare. API Holdings assembled this portfolio largely through acquisition: in May 2021 it acquired rival e-pharmacy Medlife for an undisclosed sum; in June 2021 it acquired a 66.1% stake in listed diagnostics chain Thyrocare for approximately Rs 4,546 crore; and in September 2021 it acquired a majority stake in healthcare supply-chain company Aknamed. Together these give the group a presence spanning consumer medicine delivery, diagnostics labs, hospital supply chain, and clinic software. PharmEasy's service reach extends across more than 1,000 Indian cities, and the company competes with Tata 1mg, Netmeds, Apollo 24x7 and Amazon Pharmacy. For FY24 the company reported revenue of Rs 5,664 crore (about US$590 million) against a net loss of Rs 2,533 crore, with assets of Rs 3,476.2 crore and a workforce of more than 4,700 employees. API Holdings filed for a Rs 6,250 crore IPO in November 2021 but withdrew those plans in August 2022. The group's careers presence is organised through API Holdings, whose careers site routes candidates to each subsidiary's own hiring page; PharmEasy's careers page channels applications into a Darwinbox applicant tracking portal. Teams highlighted on the careers site include Marketing, Operations, Legal, Customer Experience, Strategic Sourcing, Diagnostics, Customer Care and Mobile Tech, indicating a mix of technology, supply-chain and consumer-operations hiring. **Industry:** HealthTech / E-pharmacy **Headquarters:** Mumbai, Maharashtra, India **Official website:** https://pharmeasy.in/ **Why work here as a fresher** API Holdings is the kind of company where early-career talent is given real scope rather than busywork. Interns and freshers are placed on live problems, paired with experienced mentors, and reviewed on the same quality bar as everyone else. That combination — real ownership plus real feedback — is what turns a first role into a genuine career head start. **Culture** Expect a fast-paced, outcome-oriented environment with flat communication, short feedback loops and a strong bias for action. Teams are small enough that your contribution is visible and large enough that you learn from people who have already solved the problem you are facing. Learning, curiosity and honest debate are valued over hierarchy. **Growth & hiring** API Holdings hires internships across engineering, data, product, design, marketing, finance and operations, and a meaningful share of its early-career hires convert to full-time offers. All openings are published on the company's official careers page, and applications for this role are submitted directly to API Holdings there — no middlemen, no aggregators.
