1. Brief us about your business model like how did the idea come to the start and how does it work?

We can achieve quality health only with the convergence of industry players, service providers, medical professionals, and cutting-edge technology. Understanding this, QurHealth was incepted in India about two decades ago. In 2016, we pivoted towards health-tech research and innovation to redefine Personalized Healthcare worldwide. In a significant moment solidifying our initial thought, we introduced Sheela – India’s first multilingual conversational AI health assistant in 2020 to help people track their activities using their smartphones and Alexa.

Furthermore, to ramp up the war against COVID-19, we launched QurOne, India’s 1st patient care concierge program; through that, we effectively served 600+patients over the course of 7 weeks and were felicitated with the prestigious ‘IHWs 2021 Gold Award for our innovative COVID-19 response.

2. What are the unique key points of your QurHealth? How are you different from the existing competitors?

3. How QurHealth is working is transforming the Corporate Wellness segment

India has about 84.1 million office goers and corporates, and they understand the need for their physical and mental wellbeing. It's a fact that 70% of health issues are preventable with modifiable risk factors. A healthy employee and his family not only increase productivity, but when the employee's health is taken care of, it leads to job satisfaction and, as a result, higher-quality output that benefits the organization.

Corporate health and wellness have gained enormous significance since the pandemic. It's not just about providing basic wellness plans to the employees, but employers are now seeking a more holistic healthcare solution for them and their family members. Our QurOne- Employee Care Concierge Program is the answer to this need. The program is not a vanilla corporate wellness plan but a complete suite of offerings that provide white-glove service to employees and their families. The plans start from as low as Rs2/day per employee and continue all the way to fulfill the whole nine yards of their healthcare need.

As an entrepreneur, “Dreaming Super Big” is my challenge in the early days. When I built teams with successful performance, that is who I am today. The conviction to stay firm on super big dreams with flexibility on the journey is our great accelerator to our vision. Hiring the right talent makes a lot of difference in your journey to achieve your goals.

Challenges are my source of motivation and commitment to the purpose of our company. Challenges are the drivers of my journey; whether it is developing intelligently smart solutions for the US government at Ventech or Saving Lives Super Proactively at QurHealth, my people make me a safe choice.
