The free-of-charge integration of Medulance on the CarDekho app will help users call for an ambulance from the app and website in case of an accident.
New Delhi: Amit Jain, Co-Founder and CEO of CarDekho onboarded Delhi-based ambulance service provider Medulance on its mobile app and website in a bid to provide quick medical care to people. This offer was made by Jain on Shark Tank India, following his offer of Rs 5 crore, the biggest offer in the history of the show, for a 5 per cent equity to Medulance founders Pranav Bajaj and Ravjot Singh Arora.
The free-of-charge integration of Medulance on the CarDekho app and website, which is in line with Amit Jain’s view of supporting cause-based businesses and prevent road accident fatalities in India, will help users to call for an ambulance from the app and website in case of an accident.
Speaking on this partnership, Amit Jain said, “India reports one of the highest numbers of fatalities caused by road accidents every year, cutting short great life stories. About half of these lives can be saved if the injured receive timely access to medical care, and Medulance is playing a pivotal role in bridging this gap. As a responsible group, CarDekho has integrated Medulance on its mobile app and website, and is playing its part in helping create awareness about a service that can help save lives.”
