Documented cause
TapTap Health built a chronic disease management platform for Indian diabetics and hypertension patients, combining prescription management, refill reminders, and diet guidance. The product addressed a genuine need — India has the world's largest diabetic population. But PharmEasy, Practo, and 1mg all expanded into chronic disease management as adjacencies to their pharmacy and doctor consultation products. They had pharmacy supply chains, doctor networks, and user bases TapTap could not match. The standalone chronic disease management app became a feature rather than a business.
Lesson
“Health condition management products must own the drug supply chain or the doctor relationship — without either, the product is a feature waiting to be bundled.”
