In insurance, the moment that matters most is the claim. That’s the moment Plum chose to rebuild from first principles. From reducing discharge times to minutes, to resolving the majority of claims without human intervention, they’ve quietly redefined what “good” looks like in employee healthcare. Now, with fresh capital and a profitable, cash-generating business, they’re just getting started. Congratulations Abhishek Poddar (@thesanerguy), Saurabh Arora (@tanish2k) and the entire Plum (@getplumhq) team. 🙌 Excited to double down as you build the future of employee benefits in India. 🚀 @gvravishankar

📢 We’re excited to share that we’ve just closed our Series B round, led by Peak XV Partners, after our first full year of profitability. This milestone is all in the service of one thing truly – to help us further scale what we believe is the most important part of insurance – the claims experience. For the last 6 years, we’ve been obsessed with improving the claims experience. Because we believe it's the moment that matters most for anyone who gets insurance. And after 6+ years and 500,000+ claims, we're at a claims NPS of 79. This round empowers us to deliver this experience to the next million Indians. We’re extremely grateful to our customers for trusting us to care for their teams, our investors (Peak XV, Tanglin, and GMO) for believing in our mission, and the 500-odd Plum-bers who’ve built this with relentless care.

🆕 DataLabs by Plum is back with a new story, The Burden of Heart Disease: Costs, Risks, and Early Detection. While the average age for heart-related hospitalization is 59, the biomarkers indicating risk start flashing red in our 20s and 30s. The good news is, you have decades of preventable progression to work with. A few more important findings from our investigation include: 🔴 More Indians are at risk of heart disease when measured by ApoA/ApoB tests (62%), compared to traditional cholesterol parameters (~40%). 🔴 Heart disease in women manifests very differently than it does in men, requiring different identification and therapeutic pathways. 🔴 A third of heart-related hospitalisations exceed INR 2L, with extreme cases costing families upwards of INR 25L. Check out the full report for our complete breakdown: datalabs.plumhq.com/heart-health/ P.S. We're grateful to Dr. Anirudh Anilkumar for going through the first drafts of this report and for bringing in his expert opinions. P.P.S. This time, we asked @sharvantg to make this story mobile-friendly.

we sent out these nazar battus (and battu stickers) to founders as an homage to the most iconic symbol for protection, but also to talk about how businesses likely needs more than luck also, someone on LinkedIn said I look like a fitter BPraak and idk what to make of that

Are you allowed to be mad at someone who keeps crapping out the potluck by getting a low quality/effort dish every single time? Especially if everyone else puts in a lot of effort and care? Asking for a friend.

🔈boundary /ˈbaʊnd(ə)ri/ The word 'boundary' has many meanings. For the Second Volume of Humanise Edition II, we gave the word 'boundaries' to the authors and let them run with it. Here are the different interpretations we got back Volume ll: humanise.co.in

In a country as parched for data as we are, I’m genuinely so grateful for the kind of work @getplumhq has put into this report. I’ve been thinking about how insurance today is not like our parents’ insurance- how there’s a lot of fancy shmancy stuff but somehow very few of us are asking the tougher questions around what insurance is beyond a tax deduction. Platforms like Plum are leading the charge in demystifying, and hence empowering, the average insurance customer. This made me recheck my whole family’s insurance fine print, double double check on cancer coverage, and have a tough conversation about building a detection protocol for all of us. Read here, best on desktop- datalabs.plumhq.com/cancer This was all written so that @Ganapathi_97 keeps my supply of early plum releases coming 😅 (This is a joke!)

Plum and Nova Benefits are both Indian insurtech platforms for employee health insurance, but they differ in focus: - Plum emphasizes customizable group health plans with insurers like Niva Bupa, unlimited primary care via membership, and a digital platform for claims and benefits. - Nova stresses wellness add-ons like mental health counseling, tele-medicine, fitness perks, and strong claims support (handled 10k+ claims). Choose based on your team's needs—Plum for core insurance, Nova for holistic wellness. (248 chars)

I am very, very good at intros. It’s a part of the job, but also something I just love doing. Nothing gives me more of a thrill than getting two people I admire in a room together. So here is my Master Intro Process: 1. Get that double opt-in. For some people (if you’re close enough), you can just say “hey, I’m putting you on a chain with xyz,” but that’s rare. Most of the time, it’s worth waiting. An intro 24 hours later is infinitely better than one that feels rushed or uncomfortable. 2. Ensure both parties know the intended outcome. You can’t say “xyz just wants to talk” to one person, and “abc wants to invest in you” to the other. Clarity matters. I usually ask: “Happy to introduce, but can I have a specific, time-bound ask you want me to share? Any deadline you want me to express? Any details you’d like me to include?” It takes two extra minutes and prevents weeks of confusion. 3. Tell a story. Most intros are just “X, meet Y.” That’s not enough. Context is what makes people lean in. I like to share how the person I’m introducing has impacted me: maybe they taught me something, maybe they were a fantastic boss, maybe they just made my work better by being around. This frames the person as more than just their work identity in relation to the value they bring to actual lives. 4. Add bullet points for context. Even if the intro is for a specific reason, it rarely leads anywhere without more texture. I’ll often add: “you both love jazz,” or “you both have dogs.” or something just as specific but interest-led. It sounds small, but it does two powerful things: (1) creates an instant icebreaker, and (2) shows you cared enough to find common ground. People engage more deeply when they feel like the intro was made for them, not just tossed together. 5. Follow up. A week later, I’ll check in: “Hey, I introduced you to xyz, right? How did that go?” Not because I want anything out of it, but because I genuinely care. Over time, people start to see you as someone who doesn’t just make connections but nurtures them. And caring, consistently, and without agenda, is one of the most underrated professional skills. A good intro is rarely, if ever, about the names on a thread. it’s about setting the stage for trust, curiosity, and possibility. When you do it with intention and warmth, you’re creating a moment. And people remember the person who created that moment. They remember that you’re the one who built the bridge. And in a world where everyone is scrambling for direction, it's incredibly powerful to be known as the person who builds bridges.

I get a lot of calls about people requesting assistance towards hiring for sales folks in India. I have interviewed a few scores now. One of the biggest skill gaps I find is that culturally Indians just do not understand Elicitation, and have almost a physical aversion to trying adversarial elicitation. If I could teach one thing to every founder trying to sell out there, I would teach this : Adversarial Elicitation in 1-1 conversation. It is a fucking Jedi power.
