Recognizing the harsh reality of limited access to timely and affordable healthcare in India, ZEROPE, under Third Unicorn, emerged as a pioneering healthcare finance company. Founded by Ashneer Grover, Madhuri Jain Grover, and Aseem Ghavri, ZEROPE prioritizes health by ensuring financial limitations don’t hinder access to crucial care. The mission is to offer innovative and user-friendly financial solutions through a convenient smartphone application.
Ashneer Grover, a seasoned entrepreneur who revolutionized India’s payment landscape with Bharat Pe, wasn’t just witnessing the struggles of saving for medical bills in passing.
He saw the desperation firsthand; the families were forced to delay critical procedures, or worse, forego treatment altogether due to financial constraints.
Joining forces with Aseem Ghavri, whose company, Code Brew Labs, has been featured in Yahoo Finance as one of the top 15 enterprise mobility solution development companies in India, builds powerful business software, they brought a different skillset to the table.
Asheem’s expertise in technology would be crucial in creating a user-friendly platform to connect patients with financial resources. Their initial venture, CRICKPE, a real-money fantasy cricket app, was not a success due to changes in government regulations that forced them to adapt.
Undeterred, they channeled their entrepreneurial spirit into ZEROPE. Recognizing the urgency of medical situations where immediate action is critical, ZEROPE partnered with Mukut Finvest, a leading Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC).
This strategic alliance allows ZEROPE to pre-approve medical loans for patients seeking treatment at hospitals within their network. ZEROPE’s loan options are specifically designed for patients undergoing medical treatment at one of their partnered hospitals.
Imagine the difference this makes: a patient facing a medical emergency no longer has to navigate the additional stress of loan applications during a vulnerable time. ZEROPE streamlines the process, allowing patients to focus solely on their recovery.
While the specific interest rates on the loans and the official launch date remain undisclosed, ZEROPE’s commitment to making healthcare accessible offers a glimmer of hope for many.
Their innovative approach, combining technology, strategic partnerships, and creative financing solutions, has the potential to revolutionize the way Indians access and afford medical care. ZEROPE’s journey is still unfolding, but their mission to bridge the gap between financial limitations and healthcare access holds immense promise for the well-being of millions in India.
