Bengaluru-based Verloop.io has joined in the battle to procure and distribute oxygen cylinders. This will aid patients from underprivileged backgrounds, as they await beds at hospitals. The company is forming a communication highway between those who need oxygen and those who have it, including individuals and hospitals - by bringing in bot-powered efficiency to the system. It is working with medical manufacturers, NGOs, charities, food delivery networks, organisations, and groups associated with COVID-19 care, to build an ‘information bot’ on WhatsApp.

“We are working towards a method to help provide oxygen cylinders to patients who are unable to receive hospital care. This, we hope, will also reduce the stress on the healthcare systems as we battle the pandemic relentlessly,” said Gaurav Singh, Founder, CEO, Verloop.io.

"Verloop.io has collaborated with us in our combat against the virus by providing a WhatsApp automation bot that enables us to get the right resources to the right folks on time", said K Ganesh, who along with Juggy Marwaha, Venkat Narayana & Neeraj Bhargava started the  MillionAir initiative under the FeedMyCity umbrella of KVN Foundation.

Verlopp.io has also opened its platform free-of-cost to NGOs and other institutions which are working to provide Covid care. It has already partnered with KVN Foundation which is working to provide emergency oxygen support. Razorpay and Verloop.io also came together to help NGOs raise donations via WhatsApp chatbot.  The programme is currently active in Bengaluru and Mumbai and is looking to expand to other cities as well.
