To Assist doctors in setting up their clinic, buying medical equipment and expanding business
With an aim to build a strong support system for doctors, Curofy, a leading social media networking app, specifically developed for doctors’ community, has recently collaborated with Bajaj Finserv to help its users with easy loans and financial assistance on their app.
This strategic collaboration is the outcome of three months long pilot between Curofy and Bajaj Finserv which has helped various doctors in breaking the financial barriers to solve clinical problems.
Through this initiative, more than 1,000 doctors have already received financial aid in setting up their clinic, starting their practice, expanding their business, purchasing medical devices and buying real estate. All these loans are unsecured loans that do not require any collateral to be given by the doctor, except only few cases, where doctors who want home loan or loan against property need to provide collateral.
On this business collaboration, Nipun Goyal-Founder of Curofy, said, “Being a trusted networking app for doctors, we always want to make the practice of doctors more efficient. 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.”
“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,” said Nipun.
“We are extremely delighted to partner with Curofy to provide financial assistance to doctors. 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 Neeraj Pandey, National Manager, Online Business, Bajaj Finserv
With this collaboration, both the companies are looking to digitise doctor loan segment by eliminating paper work in long term. Currently, a loan request can be easily sent by a doctor on the Curofy app. Based on his/her profile and history, the doctor quickly gets to know how much loan is he/she eligible for. Further, the loan gets disbursed within 48 hours.
