4 apps, 1 nurse, 2 hours: the vitamin d sourcing story we keep coming back to
we keep coming back to this one.
a couple months back, arjun vaidya, co-funder at v3 ventures, broke down how he got a vitamin d shot sorted, start to finish, in about 2 hours. the whole chain:
1:00pm - doctor drops a digital prescription on whatsapp
1:30pm - vials ordered on 1mg, at his desk in 30 mins
1:35pm - pings faff to sort a nurse
1:38pm - faff calls portea
2:30pm - nurse arrives, no syringe (classic)
2:32pm - she orders one from the chemist next door
2:38pm - swiggy genie runner already en route
3:00pm - shot done
3:05pm - arjun is back on a zoom call
total cost: under ₹1K
4 apps, 1 nurse, less than 2 hours. our bit was one line in the middle: he sent a message, and he never had to think about it again.
that’s the whole reason faff exists. you don’t coordinate the chain. you send one text and it quietly happens around you.
genie rules apply. 🧞
