TSAW Drones, Kanhaiya Life Care partner for drone delivery in Kolkata
The collaboration's objective is to provide fast and effective delivery of medications to patients' homes while simultaneously reducing delays caused by road traffic.
TSAW Drones, a drone technology firm, has announced a strategic alliance with Kanhaiya Life Care Medicine to provide medication drone delivery service in Kolkata. The collaboration's objective is to provide fast and effective delivery of medications to patients' homes while simultaneously reducing delays caused by road traffic.
The medicines will first be collected from Kanhaiya Medical's Hind Motor warehouse and delivered to the TSAW Drones Howrah drone hub, where the final leg of the voyage will be completed by TSAW's expert motorcyclists, who will ensure the parcels' seamless delivery to their respective destinations.
Arpit Sharma, AVP, TSAW Drones, said “TSAW Drones is honoured to join hands with Kanhaiya Life Care Medicine in introducing cutting-edge drone technology to the healthcare sector in Kolkata. Our pioneering business-to-consumer (B2C) medicine drone delivery service will herald a paradigm shift in the way medical supplies are transported to those requiring them, guaranteeing swifter, more streamlined, and more secure transportation. We are excited to be at the forefront of this innovative approach to healthcare delivery and look forward to improving the lives of many in the Kolkata community.”
“By leveraging TSAW Drones’ advanced logistics service with our profound proficiency in the field of pharmaceuticals, this tie-up is poised to transform the delivery landscape in the healthcare industry, providing customers with unparalleled access to essential medications and enhancing the overall quality of healthcare services in the region. The B2C medicine drone delivery service will initially be rolled out in handpicked areas of Kolkata, with plans to serve other locales in the near future. Buyers will be able to place orders through our website and tele caller facility and can expect delivery within minutes” said Satyajit Roy, Consultant, Kanhaiya Life Care Medicine.
On April 18, 2023, the first event for the pharmaceutical drone delivery service in Kolkata took place. The infrastructure of TSAW's drone logistics arm DRONECO has been crucial in considerably reducing the average delivery period for medicine travelling a road distance of 17.6 kilometres, which formerly required an hour of journey time. With the drone-assisted delivery crossing a distance of 11 kilometres in under 8 minutes, the firm has proved its ability to optimise and streamline logistical procedures.
