# About Plum Plum is an employee health benefits platform. Our mission is to positively impact the health and financial wellbeing of every human. .avif).avif).avif).avif) ## Why are we building Plum? Employee health insurance has been the primary driver of health insurance penetration across developed countries. India is riding on the same wave. Employee health insurance covers 250mn people today, and would cover over 500mn people in the next decade. But insurance in India still remains a hairy problem. No trust. Inhuman behaviour. Low awareness. Too much paperwork. Communication gaps. Overcomplicated systems. Commoditisation. Complication. Manual processes. Opacity. Too much fine print. Warped policies. Scamming. Too many hiding features. Loopholes. Fear. Intimidating processes. With Plum, we are building the most trusted insurance & healthcare provider for people and companies. ## Our values \ \ Be A Lifelong Learner\ \ Being a "Lifelong Learner" is about embracing growth and change, both professionally and personally. This value is crucial in a fast-paced world where innovation is key to success. \ \ We should regularly dedicate time to learn new skills, share our learnings with the team, and foster a culture of growth. We should always seek challenges that push us out of our comfort zone, actively seek feedback from peers and mentors, and grow based on that feedback. It is also important that we reflect on experiences, identifying key takeaways and areas for improvement.](https://www.plumhq.com/about#) \ \ Rock-solid\ \ Reliable\ \ Reliability isn't just a word for us; it's our promise, a commitment to excellence that we live by every day.  It's the assurance we give to our customers and to each other that we will do what we say.\ \ We proactively communicate, we plan for every possibility, and we tackle challenges head-on. This approach has earned us trust and credibility — the kind that only comes when you know a team won't let you down.](https://www.plumhq.com/about#) \ \ Player, Not A Spectator\ \ This value is about being fully engaged, actively involved, and taking ownership in everything we do. It's about stepping onto the field, ready to contribute, rather than watching from the sidelines.\ \ We must step up when there is a need or a problem to solve. We volunteer for new projects and challenges, proactively offer help to colleagues, share ideas for improvement and innovation, and take responsibility for both successes and failures while learning from each experience. It is not ‘their’ problem to solve, it’s ‘ours’.](https://www.plumhq.com/about#) \ \ Think Long but move Fast\ \ This value is about striking a balance between strategic foresight and agile execution. We anticipate future needs, we look around corners, and we make decisions with the long game in mind. \ \ But we don't let long-term thinking slow us down. We also embrace a bias for action, a willingness to move fast. We understand that in today's rapid-pace world, speed is a competitive edge. So we act with urgency, we make quick decisions, and we're not afraid to experiment and iterate.](https://www.plumhq.com/about#) \ \ Be Kind and \ \ Candid\ \ This value emphasizes the importance of combining compassion with honesty in all our interactions. It's about creating a culture where we care deeply for each other while also having the courage to speak the truth.\ \ But kindness alone is not enough. We also need candor - the willingness to be open, honest, and direct. Candor means speaking the truth, even when it's uncomfortable. It means providing constructive feedback, addressing issues head-on, and having tough conversations when needed. Candor, delivered with care, is a gift that helps us grow.](https://www.plumhq.com/about#) \ \ Do work that makes you Proud\ \ This isn't just about meeting expectations or checking boxes - it's a call to strive for excellence and put your signature on everything you do.\ \ When you truly take pride in your work, it shows. You go the extra mile, you sweat the details, and you don't settle for 'good enough.' You know that each project, each task, is a reflection of you and your commitment to quality.](https://www.plumhq.com/about#) ## Team Plum is built by a team that brings decades of experience & passion.
