@sohmahajan @striver_79 @stripe +1 to this. Long term user, never faced an issue. World class platform & team. You’ll be up and running in no time. We have processed volumes upwards of 8 figures (sometimes in a single transaction) at xPay and have been doing so for >> 1 year.

Imagine you had fever. Your doctor prescribed you medicines. You got some tablets from your neighbourhood pharmacy. 3 days and some tablets down, you still have fever.
You go back to your doc, and he “changes” the medicine. You buy the new one, and it just works.

In most cases, your doctor didn’t change the actual molecule: he switched brands.

But if this wasn’t a simple infection but a deadlier disease, you might not have had the time to go back and play this game.

The work here by @theliverdoc , @arifhussaintm and the passionate team at MESH will tell you which brands work, and which fall short. Please support it, and spread the word. It is important for patients so they know what they’re taking, and it’s important for doctors as they deal with regulations for prescribing generics.

IMPORTANT!
Dear friends, we need your help.

The Citizens Generics vs. Branded Drugs Project is now LIVE! for your contributions.

India is the "Pharmacy of the World," supplying 20% of global generic medicines. Yet millions of Indian patients remain trapped between unaffordable branded drugs and generics they don't trust.

We're changing that through citizen-funded science.

The question we're answering: Is your affordable medicine just as effective as the expensive brand—or are you compromising your health to save money?

Our project analyses essential medicines across critical therapeutic categories to rigorous laboratory analysis:

✅Antibiotics - Azithromycin, Amoxicillin, Rifaximin
✅Heart & Blood Pressure - Telmisartan, Amlodipine, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, Aspirin
✅Diabetes & Gout - Metformin, Febuxostat
✅Digestive Health - Pantoprazole, Omeprazole, Ranitidine, UDCA
✅Pain & Inflammation - Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Prednisolone
✅Allergy & Respiratory - Montelukast, Cetirizine
✅Thyroid & Supplements - Thyroxine, Folic Acid, Calcium+Vitamin D

For each medicine, we compare Branded Drugs, Branded Generics, Jan Aushadhi, Trade and Local Generics (State Government, Generic Aadhar & Dava India)—testing what patients actually buy from pharmacies.

22 types of medicines, 2-4 categories, 133 drugs in total!

All testing is conducted in FDA & NABL-accredited laboratories using country standards:

- Weight Variation Test — to ensure uniformity of dosage units within a batch
- Identification — to confirm authenticity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient
- Assay Testing — Does the tablet contain what the label claims?
- Dissolution Testing — Does the medicine release properly in your body?
- Impurity Profiling — Are there harmful contaminants?

This project is 100% publicly funded with your help! —no pharmaceutical company sponsorship, no conflicts of interest.

Every Indian deserves medicines that are safe, effective, and trusted—regardless of price.

This is brought to you by The Mission for Ethics and Science in Healthcare (MESH).

Support independent pharmacovigilance.

Congratulations @karunkaushik_ and Selin and team @getdelve - I didn’t think compliance could be an enjoyable experience - but these folks have created a magical experience! Can’t recommend them enough.

[Karun Kaushik @karunkaushik_]

Today, we're thrilled to announce our $3.3M seed round at Delve.

AI makes millions of decisions every second. But it’s still regulated with spreadsheets and screenshots.

When AI moves at the speed of thought, protecting it with yesterday's tools isn't just inefficient, it's dangerous.

We built Delve to help secure the future of AI.

Our AI agents turn hours of manual clicks and screenshots into seamless automation and are already securing 100+ of the fastest-growing AI companies.

Welcome to the modern age of compliance.

@sundeep Hey, any chance we could get a rate limit increase & shift to a paid plan? We are itching to put this in production.

@LiveFromALounge I hope they have very good reasons for this, I can’t think of one though! Thanks for the card access tip though — got to know it from your tweets!

[Rito Maitra @ritomaitra]

Excited for Jet Airways 2.0! One suggestion to the team: Can elite members of JP/new FF program get access to expedited security queues? Some FFs offer this, some airports (paid access) & cards too (outside India, afaik). @TheSanjivKapoor @jetairways

Can’t believe it, but not unbelievable

Cannot believe that @dansiddiqui is no more. Devastating and irreparable loss. His images will continue to tell stories that haunt and touch like only he can.

Afghan Special Forces, the elite fighters are on various frontlines across the country. I tagged along with these young men for some missions. Here is what happened in Kandahar today while they were on a rescue mission after spending the whole night on a combat mission.

Working with BMC in screening COVID patients has probably been one of the most satisfying journeys for @_radicalHealth. We’re still on ground & will continue to be so with the support of @AshwiniBhide @Janak_S @mybmc. Thanks @RaiseAISummit! #COVID19India

[Ashwini Bhide @AshwiniBhide]

Today I participated in a panel discussion in the lnternational Conference on #ArtificialIntelligence, #RAISE2020 organised by #GOI thorough @mygovindia & made a presentation on how @mybmc leveraged #AI & data driven insights in managing the #COVID19 pandemic in #Mumbai.

Don’t be afraid of Covid?

This is so good to see..how Radical Health, an Indian startup using AI and a fundus camera to detect ailments, is now screening patients in BMC’s wards in Mumbai for comorbidities and playing their part in flattening the curve in the COVID19 pandemic.

[Janak S @Janak_S]

Thank you @debjani_ghosh_ and @rsprasad for acknowledging our efforts of using Artificial Intelligence in the fight against Covid.

AI-enabled solutions built for the masses, are the future of the Indian healthcare revolution.

BMC War Room has started Artificial Intelligence based co-morbidity screening of Covid patients to detect diabetes+hypertension, which are biggest reasons for fatalities, especially when unknown or unmanaged.This screening is non-invasive,real-time & actionable 1/6 @AshwiniBhide
