OKCredit Launches ‘co-aid.in’

Amid the raging Covid-19 second wave, OkCredit has announced the launch of a website – Co-aid.in to help people in distress discover verified leads for Covid-19 critical medicines and equipment.

The portal provides real-time information on the availability of medicines pan India besides the contact number of the store for making inquiries. Users can search for availability by either entering the location name or the pin code on the portal.

At a time when getting Covid-19 medicines is an onerous task, the initiative is aimed at helping people access such medicines easily by knowing where they are available.  The company is open-sourcing data of over 2 lakh pharmacy stores and businesses on its platform.

Within just 12 days of launching in India, highest number of searches have come from Bengaluru, Delhi and Kolkata but smaller locations such as Panipat, Muzaffarpur and Ranchi have also used the tool to search for nearby pharmacy shops.

Besides the pharmacy search tool, OkCredit is also encouraging people to volunteer for Covid-19 SOS requests. Known as Co-Aid Volunteer (seen at the top right on the Co-aid.in website), the platform lists out volunteering opportunities for people.

Sharing his views on the initiative, Harsh Pokharna, co-founder and CEO of OkCredit said, “People are overwrought with anxiety, fear, and the unending feeling of helplessness amid rising Covid cases. This is a time for mutual collaboration and leveraging human connection to make the lives of Covid patients and their families a tad easier.
