The Problem We're Solving

India has a three-layer healthcare crisis that no existing platform solves simultaneously.

Fake Medicines

12–25% of medicines in India are fake or substandard — putting 1.4 billion people at risk with zero citizen-facing verification tool.

Rural Healthcare Gap

65% of India's population lives in rural areas with almost no qualified doctors — over 900 million people without accessible healthcare.

Language Barrier

22 official languages — but health information is mostly in English or Hindi, leaving 500M+ non-Hindi speakers behind.

Real Incident — July 2025

Delhi Police busted a counterfeit medicine ring supplying fake Johnson & Johnson and GSK medicines — made of chalk powder and starch — all the way into government hospitals. Patients had zero way to verify these medicines before consuming them.

SahiDawa fixes this. For free. Forever. Open source.

Our Mission

To empower every Indian citizen — regardless of language, location, or literacy — with the ability to instantly verify medicines, access qualified health guidance, and report counterfeit drugs in their community.

Our Vision

A Bharat where no child dies from a fake medicine, no farmer's family is misdiagnosed for lack of a doctor, and no language is a barrier to healthcare. Free. Open. Forever.
