Requirements to open a retail pharmacy in Kolkata:
Firstly are you a B.Pharma / M.Pharma as you need to be a qualified pharmacist to register your pharmacy and obtain a Pharmacy License. Or do you know someone who is B.Pharma / M.Pharma and is able to or willing to lend you his/her name against goodwill payment (not ethical but many follow this route in India) so that you can obtain a Pharmacy License. Secondly you will need to decide on your investment.Your basic need will be a shop if you are targeting a local area (here you can buy one or rent one). Just make sure you do your maths for shop (buy/rent) and inventory. Thirdly network with a Doctor / Hospital so that you can "informally tie-up" with them, this is the easiest way to access customer base (again not ethical but most follow this route), and finally you need some cash to stock up your shop, as credit will be tough for a new store.
