Tata 1mg and OneBanc have forged a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing India’s corporate healthcare sector, a market valued at over Rs. 12,000 crore annually across diagnostics, outpatient services, and preventive wellness.
By integrating Tata 1mg’s verified medicines, NABL-certified diagnostics, and delivery network into OneBanc’s AI-powered salary platform, payroll now doubles as a personalized health hub. Employees gain convenience, continuity, and cost savings, while organizations benefit from higher productivity, lower absenteeism, reduced claim volatility, and improved retention. Healthcare brands also gain targeted access to verified salaried professionals, a highly credible segment within India’s 600-million-strong workforce.

India’s urban white-collar workforce faces escalating lifestyle risks, with 70% of employees reporting high stress and 80% experiencing mental health challenges. These issues cost employers approximately Rs. 1.1 lakh crore annually in absenteeism, presenteeism, and turnover. Each mid-to-senior level exit can cost up to Rs. 25 lakh, and group medical insurance premiums have increased by 20% over the last two years.
Meanwhile, digital health platforms grapple with rising customer acquisition costs, which have surged 40% in three years, while loyalty rates have halved. Convenience has become the primary trust driver for users. As corporate health challenges mount—with increasing medicine, diagnostics, and OPD usage, higher claims, and rising attrition—CHROs and CFOs realize that superficial wellness initiatives like gym coupons or office perks are insufficient. What truly drives results is a system that supports employees in real time, turning health interventions into tangible business outcomes.
