Indian healthcare is having a quiet version of the moment Indian payments had in 2016.
Most people haven't noticed yet.
Our COO @ryansingh123 breaks down why with @trdessai on This is Business!

India’s most health-conscious workforce is also its sickest.
In this episode of This Is Business, we try to understand why that gap exists and how the system around it is starting to change.

@CPuwar21@amritxyz Hey Chetan, this certainly isn’t the experience we want you to have.
We’re sorry for the delay. We're having this checked on priority, and our team will review your case and share a clear update with you tomorrow morning.
Thank you for your patience.
Om Satija is running Kanyakumari to Kashmir. 5,000 km. 50 km a day. No rest days.
He's raising money to educate 1,000 kids from leprosy-affected families through Udayan Kolkata.
We're covering his health insurance for the whole run. He shouldn't have to think about that part. @omsatija_@LoopHealthHQ
My Delhi-strained lungs were gifted this air purifier by @LoopHealthHQ. Thank you!
Didn’t expect to share my experience publicly and for it to actually resonate. But yeah, bottomline again — tough times we live in, get a health insurance for you and your family.
We talk a lot about the 20-year health gap.
@harnidhish wrote a piece that explains the mission and what it takes to close it.
This is a story worth reading.
It's not often you find writing that captures both the complexity and the mission.
@harnidhish nailed it with this piece on what we're building at @LoopHealthHQ and our mission to add 20 healthy years to India's workforce.

Introducing a new substack series: A Week With
One of the fantastic perks of what I do is the access I get to startups I admire. It has led me to wonder why some startups stick with me.
Not succeed (though they do that!) alone, which is measurable in funding rounds and revenue multiples and whatever metric is exciting this quarter. I mean stick. The ones you find yourself bringing up in unrelated conversations.
I’ve been lucky enough to get close to a few of these over the years, sometimes as an investor, sometimes as a consultant, sometimes just as someone who asked enough questions that they let me hang around.
So, once a month, I’m going to embed into a startup I admire and try to write my way toward understanding why it works. Not a profile, since I find profiles a bit boring, honestly, all that “founded in 20XX, raised Series B” stuff is easily found.
More like standing inside the machine and looking at the gears?
The first one is Loop Health (@LoopHealthHQ).
I’ll be honest, I went in a skeptic. “Adding 20 healthy years to India’s workforce” sounds like the kind of mission statement you put on a pitch deck but no one actually believes in.
But then I spent a week watching their medical ops team at 2 AM, coordinating care for an employee’s father having chest pains 1,100 kilometers away, and I started to understand what they’d actually built.
Loop has spent the last six years trying to untangle the perception of what insurance is understood as vs what it can actually be.
Writing this essay made me believe a little more in the awesome power of big dreams.
Eight years, 1 million lives.
Sat down with @business_today to reflect on building @LoopHealthHQ and what it's taught us about the difference between covering health and managing it.
Turns out, the gap between those two things is everything.

1 million lives now covered by @LoopHealthHQ.
Every one of them deserves to reach 50 without battling diabetes. To hit 60 without hypertension.
To retire healthy, not exhausted.
We're not celebrating coverage, we're celebrating the prevention that comes with it.
1 million down. 10 million to go.
Last week we ran a giveaway to celebrate 1 million Loop members.
One question: What medical incident in your family changed how you think about health, life, and finances?
Hundreds of replies, these three hit hardest.:

Air purifiers heading your way. Thank you for sharing what most people never talk about.
@SamreenRazz Hi @SamreenRazz, your thread really stood out. We’ve reached out via DMs to connect, but it didn’t go through. Please DM us so we can take this forward.
I had a severe nosebleed one morning and was rushed to the hospital for a small procedure. I came back home still bleeding.
The next morning, I woke up to find no one at home my dad was in the ICU for severe dehydration. Two days later he was fine, but on the day he was supposed to come home, my grandma had a minor heart attack and was admitted to the hospital.
Everything happened back to back. It completely changed how I think about life
Lost 2 family members in 2 consecutive years. Loved them the most.
Completely changed how I think about life, finance, and family. Lost a core of myself I've been dying to find ever since.
Also, discovered the rotting hell of Indian healthcare system, designed to drain you out.
1/N
In 2021, I was chasing a dream of a government job. My girlfriend was fighting a silent battle. She found nodes in her neck—a doctor called it TB. 6 months of heavy meds and weight gain followed. We thought the storm had passed. We were wrong.
