What We Saw in Kolkata That Made Us Start MDW By Prasenjit Das | Co-founder, MDW Growing up in Kolkata, I’ve seen something too often — people waiting in long lines at pharmacies for basic medicines, elderly parents calling their children late at night when they couldn’t find a chemist nearby, and chronic patients skipping doses simply because it was “too much trouble” to get a refill. And this wasn’t just once in a while. This was everyday India. In a country where we can order food, cabs, and fashion in 10 minutes — why do we still have to struggle to access genuine, affordable, and timely healthcare? That’s the question we asked when we started My DawaiWala (MDW). We’re reimagining healthcare — starting with 20-minute medicine delivery and at-home wellness checkups designed for real people and real lives. Follow our journey as we bring India’s Health First Company to life. If you believe India deserves better, faster healthcare — we’d love your support.

Day #12 It’s Just a Strip of Medicine, Until It’s Not. We’ve heard this line too many times: “It’s just Crocin, what’s the big deal?” “Take this substitute, same thing.” “We don’t have it now, come back tomorrow.” But here’s the truth: There’s no s
