Speaking on the development, Tushar Vashist, Co-founder and CEO of HealthifyMe, said,

“Getting everyone vaccinated is critical for India to become healthier and fitter, and I am excited to have Berty and team join our mission… We are now taking it to the next logical level by jointly launching a solution that will help millions of Indians book their slots directly on the HealthifyMe app and website.”

HealthifyMe has already pledged $1 million to support this initiative. As per the startup, it will invest more as and when needed.
