About Us
Our Story — A Journey of Seva
No family should have to choose between buying medicines and meeting everyday needs. This belief is the heart of API GENERIC PHARMACY™.
Behind every prescription is someone we care about—a parent, a child, a loved one. We believe that every one of them deserves access to quality medicines, without the fear of an unaffordable bill.
Our journey took shape in 2015, when we joined the Government of India’s Jan Aushadhi movement and established India’s first Jan Aushadhi Kendra under the Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model, in Subhash Nagar, New Delhi. We began with a heartfelt purpose: to ease the burden of medicine costs and help families continue the treatment they need.
That purpose continues to guide us—from helping senior citizens manage their monthly medicine expenses to supporting patients who depend on regular treatment. Every prescription entrusted to us carries a responsibility we hold close to our hearts.
In 2018, our dedication to service was recognised with a National Award presented by Shri Mansukh Mandaviya Ji. In 2026, Dr. Shailender Arora was conferred the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Seva Ratna Samman for his selfless service in spreading awareness of generic medicines and promoting affordable healthcare.
These honours deepen our gratitude and our responsibility towards every person who places their trust in us.
Our vision is simple: quality medicines within every Indian’s reach—affordable, accessible and available when needed. We aspire to reach people across India and are working towards delivery within one to two hours wherever feasible, because we understand how anxious the wait for a loved one’s medicine can be.
With compassion, integrity and dedication, we continue the journey we began in 2015.
For us, every medicine delivered is an opportunity to ease someone’s worry, support a family and keep hope alive.
Mission
Our mission is to make quality medicines affordable and accessible to every person who needs them, while helping families reduce their healthcare expenses.
Since our beginning with a Jan Aushadhi Kendra in 2015, this commitment has guided our journey. Today, API GENERIC PHARMACY™ continues that service through our centres and digital platform, reaching people across India.
We strive to make essential medicines available as quickly as possible, with compassion, integrity and personal care.
Affordability was our beginning. Service remains our purpose.
Vision
“No one should have to choose between buying medicines and meeting their family’s basic needs.”
“Our vision is to bring quality, affordable medicines within reach of every person across India—so that cost and distance never stand between a family and the care they need.
We aspire to make essential medicines available within one to two hours wherever possible, because behind every prescription is someone waiting for relief—and a family waiting with hope.”
