Mumbai, Oct 8 Indian Cricket Legend & Technology Enthusiast, Anil Kumble has become strategic advisor and investor at Onsurity, driven by his purpose to work as an evangelist in promoting health and wellness for SME 's and gig workers in the sports, environment, forest, technology and allied sectors.
Born in the pandemic year of 2020, Onsurity is the brainchild of Yogesh Agarwal and Kulin Shah who were keen to solve the problem of affordability and accessibility in the health and wellness space, with an efficient monthly subscription model for SMEs, MSMEs, Start-ups that covers their vulnerable workforce with an adequate social security.
Onsurity, India's first tech-led monthly subscription-based employee health benefits platform, is both a purpose and passion-led backing for India's sporting icon Kumble, who believes country's SME employees are underserved and is keen to spread awareness about the group health and wellness benefits.
On his partnership with Onsurity, Anil Kumble said: "I have personally witnessed and led fundraisers for this vulnerable workforce, who are usually not full-time employees in the ecosystem. These gig workers or off role employees, be it in the sports, manufacturing, services or technology sector, deserve a professional approach to secure their health and wellness needs. This is what I liked about Onsurity, who are in a way, democratizing access to healthcare benefits through
their tech-led platform and B2B associations. Through this collaboration, I am looking forward to raising awareness about the importance of healthcare and wellbeing among employees and their families, which I feel can solve healthcare issues of India's missing middle."
