"'Everybody needs some looking after sometimes,' Kinariwala says on Inc.'s What I Knowpodcast. 'That's what we've really built the whole business around.' "He says if your mother were a pharmacist, and you were her only patient, she would make sure you knew how to take your medication. You could text her with questions. She'd make sure you got the best price. She'd make sure you never ran out. And of course, she'd bring it right to your door.
