This strategic collaboration is the outcome of a three month long pilot between Curofy and Bajaj, to help various doctors in breaking financial barriers to solve clinical problems.

"Everyday, many doctors on Curofy send us requests seeking assistance in various aspects of their practice like getting collateral-free loans, finding job or staff, buying medical devices, seeking medico-legal advice and insuring their practice. We have partnered with many service providers to help them with the same," said founder, Curofy, Nipun Goyal.

"Our collaboration with Bajaj Finserv is a big step towards this. They have a strong on ground team to support doctors whenever needed. The partnership will definitely help us bring a change in doctors' life. As part of this association, we are aiming to provide loans to more than 10,000 doctors in the next 12 months," he added.

We believe in the potential of technology and process innovation to disrupt the status quo and build a large scale, sustainable business. Our partnership with Curofy will enable a stronger customer convenience creating a win-win proposition for the all the members in the ecosystem," said national manager, online business, Bajaj Finserv, Neeraj Pandey.
