The Gurugram-based startup covers outpatient services and elective healthcare procedures like dental, eye care, veterinary, dermatology, haircare, and fertility. The company is creating a network of healthcare providers to offer embedded finance and pay-later options at clinics across the country.
“We are planning to enhance and develop our product in the next 3-6 months…basically all the money will be used for the growth of our business. We currently have around 500 healthcare providers on our platform; we will be onboarding around 5,000 more by the end of this year,” Bhasin told ET.
“With $70 billion in out-of-pocket expenditure and extremely low penetration of health insurance, healthcare in India is ripe for disruption through embedded finance that can be offered to drive 3 million healthcare providers across the country,” the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
