Established in January 2023 by Ashneer Grover, Madhuri Jain Grover, and Chandigarh-based entrepreneur Aseem Ghavri, Third Unicorn initially ventured into fantasy gaming with CrickPe. The company secured $3.5 million in a seed round, with ZNL Growth Fund, Vivek Ventures Investments, and Rishaayu LLP leading the investment.
Grover’s ZeroPe intends to enter the healthcare finance sector, which is expected to generate $5 billion, with an eye toward the rapidly expanding digital healthcare market in India, which is expected to generate $37 billion in sales by 2030. This is in line with the larger trend of digital-first firms that aim to offer data-driven medical loans for a range of healthcare requirements, including home care, chronic care management, and hospitalization.
