With the dream of saving more than 70,000 lives a day, HelpNow was started by 3 IITians, driven by first-hand experiences of a broken ambulance system in India, according to the information available on their website.
Over the last 15 months of R&D with inputs from domain experts. HelpNow has built the largest network of private ambulances in Mumbai, leveraged ridesharing cabs into “MedCabs” and made technological optimisations to truly create the safest ambulance service in India.
