Yashish Dahiya’s Biggest Bet Yet: From Insurance to Healthcare | Policy Bazaar

What if the healthcare system actually wanted you to stay healthy? In this insightful conversation, Yashish Dahiya, co-founder of PolicyBazaar and Group CEO of PB Fintech, sits down with Shradha Sharma to unpack his boldest move yet — a $218 million bet to fix India’s broken healthcare system. With no prior experience in healthcare, Yashish is reimagining the hospital model through PB Healthcare Services. His vision: a fixed-fee, no-claims healthcare platform that flips the incentive structure — where hospitals earn more by keeping you out of the hospital, not in it.
