In the healthcare vertical, the flagship program is the Community Healthcare Entrepreneur (CHE). CHE is a program designed to improve the availability and access to quality healthcare for those residing in rural areas, and to give a chance to women of low social income groups to become micro entrepreneurs.

CHEs will provide both preventive and curative health services to the community by using technology and a digital platform to provide health services where accessibility is an issue.
