Founder Speaks-
"Pandemic has accelerated the urgency for an integrated healthcare model. There is much larger awareness in the consumers for a product that not only provides for hospitalization but also takes care of their out-of-pocket expenses. Currently, the healthcare ecosystem in India is fragmented and incentives across the board are not aligned. We would think that integrated health care which we also know as managed care with a smart overlay of technology is a sunrise industry in India. We have just really scratched the surface, but as the first mover in this space, we are confident of bringing about a much-needed change in the healthcare industry and providing care that everyone deserves. High-quality healthcare experience will become a norm, and Clinikk will be spearheading the change."
