Furquan Kidwai left his career as a banker in London and moved to Karachi to found Dawaai in 2013, an online pharmacy aiming to modernize a highly fragmented market made up of small independent pharmacies. It’s a model, he says, that has a lot in common with PillPack.In this episode of Rise of the Next, Furquan talks about wading into a market where an estimated 40% of drugs are fake, inventory issues abound, and patient trust is low. It’s one of many opportunities for founders to transform industries, he believes, in Pakistan.  Subscribe here to tune into future episodes of Rise of the Next on major streaming platforms.LEGAL DISCLAIMERTHIS PODCAST IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL OR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY CONTENT PROVIDED AS PART OF ANY SUCH PROGRAMS, SERVICES OR EVENTS BE CONSTRUED AS INVESTMENT, LEGAL, TAX OR ACCOUNTING ADVICE BY 500 STARTUPS MANAGEMENT COMPANY, L.L.C.
