Jilo health

Founder & CEO

Aug 2024 – Present · 1 yr 7 mos · Patna, Bihar, India · On-site

A personal incident, in Aug 2022, led me to realize that in India, quality healthcare is unaffordable for 90% of households (250 million families). This problem was unsolvable due to an accessibility issue. However, thanks to the massive penetration of digital and physical healthcare infrastructure, along with the Digital Public Goods - National Health Stack (ABDM), today is the best time to solve this problem without creating new ones.
In the past 16 months, we have been piloting, experimenting, and engaging in numerous stakeholder conversations that have helped us build our convictions and a 20-year concrete plan. You can read our on-the-ground learning here: https://sumanjha.com/blog
We are leveraging the National Health Stack (Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission [ABDM]) with an integrated Omnichannel approach to build a “Managed Care-based Healthcare delivery for 225 million families. The Managed Care-based healthcare delivery system is a full-stack approach that covers the cost of the entire healthcare continuum - Preventive, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Medication.
Under Managed Care, a household’s entire healthcare costs for the year will be covered at an affordable price…
The outcome of our work could be $100 billion in 20 years - Of course, we believe India will be a $45 trillion country!

Zila shop

Founder & CEO

Sep 2021 – Apr 2024 · 2 yrs 7 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I had seen my father running Kirana Store in the village - Dasaut, Bihar -and that was the source of our bread and butter. However, to start a Kirana Store demands Capex and dedicated time commitment. Our mission with ZILA SHOP was to starting of Kirana Store without capital and time commitment using technology and distribution.
With ARR of INR 1 Cr only with 1000 Community Members and 15,000 households only from one city - Patna. We wanted to scale the model however failed to raise funds.
ZILA SHOP helped us understand what type of distribution channel is best suitable for building for Bharat at almost zero CAC.
We are applying learning from All ZILA SHOP in building Jile Health for 225 million non-metro households.
