In today’s startup world, success stories are often linked to funding rounds, celebrity investors, and rapid expansion. The journey of Devashish Mishra, Founder and CEO of Mr. Care 24/7 Private Limited, stands apart. Built without angel investors or venture capital, Mr. Care Pharmacy has grown from a Rs 30 lakh personal investment into a retail healthcare brand with an estimated Rs 75 crore valuation in just five years.
When Devashish Mishra started Mr. Care Pharmacy, the goal was never to grow fast. The goal was to grow right. Instead of opening multiple stores quickly, he focused on understanding the basics of pharmacy retail. He spent time in stores, speaking directly with customers, watching how they behaved, and learning what they actually needed from a pharmacy.
In the early years, Mr. Care Pharmacy said no to many opportunities that promised quick growth. There was no aggressive discounting, no rushed hiring, and no shortcuts in operations. Mishra believed that trust cannot be built at speed. Customers come to pharmacies during difficult moments, and those moments require patience, clarity, and care.
The first store started with just three people. What made it different was the experience. Customers were encouraged to ask questions. Pharmacists explained medicines in simple language, including dosage, timing, and long-term use. People did not feel rushed or confused. Slowly, trust spread through word of mouth. Neighbours recommended Mr. Care Pharmacy not because it was cheaper, but because it felt dependable.
As customer confidence grew, the business grew naturally. Mr. Care Pharmacy expanded its product range to include wellness items, health supplements, and daily care products—only after understanding demand. Technology was added to support the team, making billing faster, inventory smoother, and home delivery reliable. The focus remained on people, not just processes.
Today, Mr. Care Pharmacy serves over 35,000 customers every month. The brand manages more than 15,000 products, operates multiple stores, and has a team of over 110 people. With profitable stores, a stable supply chain, and strong repeat customer rates, the business has reached a valuation of Rs 75 crore—achieved without external funding.
For Devashish Mishra, this journey is about more than numbers. It is about building something lasting. As Mr. Care Pharmacy plans to enter new cities, the focus is on replication, not speed. The company aims to carry the same trust, discipline, and care into every new market.
In a startup ecosystem driven by funding and fast exits, Mr. Care Pharmacy proves that patient, focused execution can build real value. Devashish Mishra’s journey shows that sometimes, the strongest businesses are built quietly—with no angels, no VCs, and no shortcuts.
