The 6th Edition of Huddle Global, organized by Kerala Startup Mission. Oh boy, what a show! 3 days of showcasing the best of Kerala that India and the world can look forward to. What started off as a well charted plan to make inroads into the startup ecosystem in the last decade has now become a must-attend event in the Indian startup calendar. seafund can’t say enough good things about the entire KSUM team, they keep upping the bar every year, year after year. We are extremely proud to have been engaged in the ecosystem for nearly a decade and the resultant outcome has been stupendous. Our previous fund had half its portfolio from Kerala based startups. Among them, Genrobotics, Clootrack, Finsall Resources, BestDoc are leaders in each of their spaces that they operate in and all trace back their success to the strengths of the Kerala ecosystem – extremely talented technical founders, humble and grounded and laser focused on execution. Like always, we had a fantastic time meeting old friends, speaking with budding entrepreneurs, moderating and participating in panels, doing reverse pitches and, of course, meeting and interacting with the policy makers – folks who have been pivotal to the burgeoning mindshare Kerala now occupies. Can’t wait for the next one.

This collaboration marks an exciting advancement in AI-driven health assessments, enabling CHLI customers to access efficient, non-invasive health insights through Fedo’s 14-second facial scan technology. By streamlining health checks and enhancing underwriting, Fedo is paving the way for personalized, accessible healthcare. We’re proud to support Fedo in its mission to transform healthtech and look forward to seeing their impact continue to grow across insurance, wellness, and beyond!

Canara HSBC Life Insurance (CHLI) has taken a significant step forward in the world of AI-enabled health assessments by partnering with healthtech company Fedo.ai. This collaboration leverages CHLI’s expertise in the insurance sector and Fedo’s cutting-edge AI-powered facial scan technology to streamline health assessments, making them more efficient, non-invasive, and accessible. Enhancing Underwriting and Customer Onboarding The integration of Fedo's technology is set to revolutionize CHLI’s underwriting process, reducing onboarding times by allowing customers to complete health assessments through a simple 14-second facial scan. This innovative approach eliminates the need for traditional, invasive health checks, enabling users to assess their health from the comfort of their homes, particularly benefiting those in remote areas with limited healthcare access. By scanning facial features using a mobile device, Fedo’s technology analyzes 14 health metrics, including heart rate, BMI, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and even mental health indicators like stress and heart rate variability (HRV). The AI tool can also identify six potential disease risks and forecast healthcare costs for the next five years, giving customers a deeper understanding of their health and well-being. Driving Personalized Healthcare and Accessibility The partnership is a step toward personalized healthcare, empowering CHLI customers to make informed decisions regarding their health. According to Dr. Ashish Kapoor, VP and Chief Underwriter at CHLI, the collaboration aims to enhance customer experience by making health assessments quicker and simpler, while ensuring individuals have the tools to prioritize their long-term wellness. Kapoor emphasized, “Our goal is to focus on the long-term well-being of our customers by providing a seamless, compassionate experience at every stage of their journey with us.” Fedo's AI Innovations and Future Plans Fedo.ai is at the forefront of healthtech innovation, utilizing AI algorithms to extract valuable insights from quick facial scans. Beyond insurance, Fedo’s technology is designed for use in employee wellness programs, remote health monitoring, and other B2B sectors, offering solutions for risk assessment and healthcare management. Prasanth Madavana, Co-founder and CEO of Fedo.ai , highlighted that integrating their AI technology with CHLI's processes allows for faster, more accurate decision-making, ultimately delivering more personalized service to customers. Looking ahead, Fedo plans to expand its offerings into healthcare, fitness, and mental health sectors, adopting a B2B2C distribution model that aims to integrate its AI infrastructure across diverse industries.
