The motivation behind the entrepreneurial journey
Jitin Bhasin says, “I have been in finance, banking, and fintech domain for very long years now. In 2015, it was very clear to me that the future of the company lies in digitalization. There is tangible movement in the west in regards to the same. And when something happens in the west, India adopts it over a period of time. There is an expressive indication that digitalization is the future of the country. There is going to be a decisive contribution of financial service products. Hence, fintech became the automatic interest for me and I have been with fintech for 7 years.”
Benefits of savings in healthcare
Jitin Bhasin informs, “70 % of Indian households opt for private healthcare due to lack of options or preference. There is a large amount of out-of-pocket expenses by the patient. The core idea behind SaveIN is that we want to create an enabling ecosystem for consumers whereby we offer a pay later kind of facility for each and every healthcare provider in the length and breadth of the country. This enables them to serve 40 - 50 % of customers with affordability. Today a lot of people are not able to avail timely and quality healthcare.
We want to impact both these aspects of healthcare for affordability and availability of healthcare. This is the driving force behind SaveIN. It is India’s first Buy Now Pay Later Platform Healthcare and we call it Care Now- Pay Later.”
USP For SaveIN
Jitin Bhasin states, The "Buy Now Pay Later platform is gaining recognition in India. It is an 8 billion market and estimated to crack 50 billion in 4 -5 years. If you see the market today, the large number of “Buy Now Pay Later”(BNPL) products are dominated by E-commerce. Several Buy Now Pay Later products are available today in the country and this is very exciting to know. Most of the “Buy Now Pay Later”(BNPL) products are confined to eCommerce. This funding is available for apparel, electronics, cosmetics, and foods but not for healthcare. We have created SaveIN to impact the true needs of people. SaveIN is very different from others in these aspects-
- We activate the individualized care
- We activate onboard provider care and pay later system
- Digitized pay later system
- The technology of Credit assessment in 60 secs."
Arrangement of healthcare finances by SaveIN for people
Jitin Bhasin states, “Currently, we are covering outpatient services. Our thesis is that in the inpatient service, the amount of money needed is more and insurances are already in place for that. We are focusing on outpatient treatment like dental, optical, and vet care. So, outpatient is the first focus. We pay the provider on behalf of the patient. We can access your credit system and give you access to your healthcare on behalf of you. You can pay SaveIN in equated monthly installments. This is how finance works for SaveIN.
Consumerization of healthcare is different because it is sensitive and Covid has placed healthcare right at the pinnacle. If you are not healthy everything else can wait”
