ABOUT US

Our Story

Founded during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic at the prestigious Duke University Fuqua School of Business, eBoxchain was born from the vision of Suraj Chanda. As a seasoned entrepreneur, Suraj recognized the growing challenges faced by independent pharmacies—businesses that traditionally relied on foot traffic and personalized service. In response, he launched eBoxchain to help these essential community providers remain resilient through advanced, tech-enabled logistics solutions.
What began in the Research Triangle Park area of Raleigh has since grown into a dynamic and expanding operation. Today, eBoxchain serves a broader geographic region, with a clear mission to support the evolving needs of the healthcare sector as we continue our journey toward nationwide impact.
