The MillionAir initiative founding member K.Ganesh commented, “We have embarked, now in April 2021, to save lives by supplying free oxygen concentrators to the needy so that they can get critical life support till they find a hospital bed, get access to doctors, or recover completely. Verloop.io has collaborated with us in our combat against the virus by providing a WhatsApp automation bot that enables us to get the right resources to the right folks on time.”

The company has opened its platform free-of-cost to NGOs and other institutions involved in providing Covid care.
