Startup Grind Doha and Aster have collaborated to offer healthcare benefits to startup founders in Qatar, addressing the growing concerns about the well-being of entrepreneurs in the region. Indica Amarasinghe, Chapter director of Startup Grind Doha, explained that the pressures of building a startup, including demanding schedules and financial pressures, often lead to neglecting personal well-being.
To tackle this issue, the partnership with Aster provides members with discounts of up to 20% on medical services at Aster Medical Centres, Aster Hospital, and optical care facilities. The co-branded membership card serves as proof of this discounted care access. This initiative aims to expand the support system for startup founders beyond traditional networking, mentorship, and funding channels, emphasizing the importance of addressing health accessibility to strengthen the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Kapil Chib, COO at Aster DM Healthcare Qatar, highlighted that the partnership not only offers practical benefits to members but also reflects the community's commitment to supporting founders in both their entrepreneurial journey and their overall wellness.
