Siddharth Gadia, Co-founder & CEO, Zeno Health, said, "Over the next five years, our goal is not just to build a formidable business, but to also enable those who are working towards offering quality, affordable healthcare to Bharat. That’s the only way we will be able to revolutionise India’s healthcare industry.”

Girish Agarwal, Co-founder & COO, said, "Through ‘Pay It Forward’, we want to create a founder-first platform that helps startups bring impactful solutions to the people who need them most. We’re not taking equity. We’re not doing this for credit. We’re doing it because India needs more healthcare disruptors, and because we understand the challenges startups face in building something meaningful.”

Through this initiative, the company plans to support startups by giving them shelf space and visibility in around 180 stores and pharmacies in Mumbai and Pune.

It will also give startups access to its customers and guidance from its founders and leadership team.

According to the company, the program is aimed at startups offering good-quality, affordable healthcare.
