Online players give discounts upto 18-20% or something like that. Not at all products they give exact margins. In the pharmaceutical industry, Only few brands give less margin, most brands give good margin plus schemes etc, even to offline retailers. If we talk about generic and other products there are huge discounts like product cost is 30 rs and mrp is 100 rs. So, an 25% discount in the pharma market is not a big deal.
Second, most e-pharmacy players have huge consumption and they can directly purchase from the company or their depot.
Third, in the online space, there are huge investments generated and e-commerce portals work even in loss for competing with other players and offline stores. Sometimes they bear losses to capture the market place and create branding to generate more investment or sell their venture at huge valuation.

Giving 15-20% discount will not be an issue for the majority of products in the retail sector.
There are very less chances for buying medicines directly from MNC companies at retail level as you will have very less quantity for each product and you have to maintain a range of different brands and molecules that make it impractical to purchase one box or 5 pieces of a product directly from different different companies.
