‘New Delhi, July 15, 2022: India Health Link (IHL), a digital health and medical device start-
up, is joining hands by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Canopi for its hPod
financing sanction for ($14M+) – a Supply Chain Finance & Trade Finance Marketplace, to
expand the deployment of their first-of-its-kind integrated, human-centric, preventive health
screening ‘Phygital’ healthcare ecosystem in India.
To ensure the wellness of Indian patients via preventive screening, India Health Link (IHL) with
a first-of-its-kind integrated, human-centric, preventive health screening ‘Phygital’ healthcare
ecosystem, wishes to reach out to every Indian patient through hospitals and doctors’ networks
and make its Health Pod (‘hPod’) and IHL Care available to them. But, at the initial stage, the
challenge lies in the scalability of their Health Pod (‘hPod’) solutions. To make the ecosystem of
scalability smooth and robust, IHL has collaborated with Canopi to qualify hPod under medical
equipment financing and ease the adoption of its integrated healthcare screening ecosystem.
Owing to the lending facility of Canopi, the preventive healthcare delivery will reach the
maximum number of Indians who are deprived of the accessibility of primary and preventive
care in the remotest part of the country.
Canopi has designed its modules keeping small businesses in mind. At Canopi, there is no
waiting period for a loan, and it requires minimum documentation and provides the quickest
approvals. Canopi has multiple Lender Partners such as Large Public & Private Sector banks and
NBFCs. It also provides collateral-free loans based on the invoices. The advantage of Canopi is
that it has customised financing programs. It tailors financing programs that suit the
requirements of one’s business. It has multiple lenders in the marketplace and negotiates better
rates. It provides a tech platform wherein the transactions are made digitally at one’s
convenience. One can exchange business information seamlessly with one’s vendors and
dealers on the digital portal.
Speaking on Canopi and IHL partnership, Mr Abhay Asrani, Co-Founder & Director,
Canopi, said, “It’s great to collaborate with India Health Link (IHL) as its ‘Phygital’ ecosystem is
instrumental in providing maximum people with the accessibility of preventive screening, which
is the need of the hour to reduce the disease burden in the long run. We are also thankful to
our Lending Partner Banks and NBFCs for providing lending support. We will continue to provide
innovative, affordable and effective healthcare credit solutions in the country through this kind
of partnership. We wish to leverage our credit outreach to such healthcare companies who are
instrumental in offering easily accessible and affordable healthcare solutions to the common
people of India.”
Dr Satyender Goel, Founder & CEO – India Health Link, said, “Collaboration with Canopi
is the need of the hour as it will be instrumental in enabling hospitals, small clinics, diagnostic
labs, and pharmacies to get one-of-a-kind self-screening health Pod and IHL Care platform. We
wish to reach out to every Indian and provide them with this ATM-size screening Health Pod so
that they get their basic vitals screened and also promote preventive care culture to reduce the
NCDs burden in India. For this, we want to start it from the grass-root level with a trusted
ecosystem of doctors who could provide health & wellness education and awareness about
preventive screening and its collective advantages to their patients. This initiative will help us
scale up the ongoing deployments of our integrated preventive screening ecosystem even to
the remotest of areas of the country.”
