The startup which began its journey in february last year has on boarded 700 SMEs as healthcare partners with 70,000 users. They have built a digital native employee healthcare platform aligned with making Indian SMEs self-sufficient and giving them access to affordable healthcare. The company’s vision is to democratise healthcare for small businesses and startups. It allows customers to buy on-demand, easy to understand and necessary Employee Benefits and healthcare services for their teams and families. It is India’s first digital platform to provide a monthly Employee Benefit Subscription program called TeamSure, catering to new-age startups and SMEs.

“The participation of angels will help our team get easy access to building a great customer experience and enhance our tech stack. We look forward to deeply engaging with these industry stalwarts to innovate and further scale and provide every SME the opportunity to provide healthcare their employees deserve,” said Yogesh Agarwal, co-founder, Onsurity.

The company had raised their Seed capital in March last year, where they saw funds like Nexus Partners, AngelList, Whiteboard Capital and others participate in the round.
