Problem statement

Problem statement

Why Plum worked

People Team

While the backend worked, Postman’s people team relied on manual processes and Google Sheets for benefits enrolments, updation, and communication.

Plum’s tech-first HR dashboard powered by API integrations with insurers, automated the entire benefits workflows.

Employees

Most of Postman’s employees, used to digital-first experiences for e-commerce and banking, couldn’t come to terms with having to rely on archaic, manual processes to raise and track insurance claims.

Plum’s digital app made claims tracking easier for teams. In addition, AI-powered features like PolicyGPT and ClaimsLens offered an intuitive, simple experience.

Employees and People Team

A disjoined employee health experience, with different vendors and no unified platform to track adoption.

In addition to insurance, Plum offered primary and preventive healthcare offerings in one single app – easing adoption for employees, and streamlining processes for Postman’s people team.

| Name | Type | Popular for tech | Good to live in | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| HSR Layout | Residential,Office | Yes | Yes | HSR is popular amongst folks working in startups and tech. Most houses here are more spacious than your usual Blr house hunt drives. Perhaps, the only con is that HSR can be quite far from OG Bengaluru spots. But, communities like HSRisHome should solve that. |
| Electronic City | Office | Yes | No | Most Blr tech parks are located in and around Electronic City. But, if you’re starting up from scratch in Blr, a place like E-city can be isolating to live in. It’s far from the usual chill spots. |
| Koramangala | Residential,Office | Yes | Yes | The dream place for folks living and working in Bengaluru. It’s a lively and young neighbourhood. |
| Indiranagar | Residential,Office | Yes | Yes | Dense with tech people living here. The neighbourhoods are very posh. The cost of living in Indiranagar can, thus, be pretty high. |
| Banashankari | Residential | No | Yes | Old Bengaluru. You’ll likely run into quieter and family-oriented people + lifestyle. Great area to live in. |
| Sarjapur | Office | Yes | No | Up and rising for tech but further away from the city. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’ve decided that your office space is around HSR or Sarjapur. |
| Jayanagar | Residential | No | Yes | Yet again, a quieter and family-oriented neighbourhood. Time feels like it moves slowly and differently there. Would highly recommend living in Jayanagar and working from there, if possible. |
| Whitefield | Residential,Office | Yes | Yes | This neighbourhood has a high concentration of offices, buildings, and high-rise apartments. It’s an up and coming neighbourhood, occupied by a lot of tech people. It has great metro connectivity to all the hotspots in the city. |
| Devanahalli | Residential | No | Yes | It’s said that Devanahalli could be the next IT Hub of Bengaluru but that’s going to take time to manifest. Lots of retired folks live here – recommended for people with families. |
| Bannerghatta Road | Residential | No | Yes | Not a lot of tech folks live here. There are also fewer startups located in this area. But, the locality is residential and a great place for families and youth. |
| JP Nagar | Residential,Office | Yes | Yes | Old Bengaluru but with tech. There are many cafes and co-working spaces around – perfect for working folks. Lots of space to run and go on long walks around the area. |
| Sadashivanagar | Residential | No | Yes | Quiet and a bit further away from the action of Bengaluru, but worth checking out as residential |
| Rajajinagar | Residential | No | Yes | Quiet and a bit further away from the action of Bengaluru, but worth checking out as residential |
| Malleshwaram | Residential | No | Yes | Old Bengaluru. Unlikely to have a tech scene going on. But, residential and a good place for families given the area is well-developed and has all basic amenities covered. |
| Frazer Town | Residential | No | Yes | Serene and lots of good places around for food. Good for a Sunday morning hangout but not too much tech |
| Cooke Town | Residential | No | Yes | Just like Frazer Town. Lots of places around for food and things to do. But, not too much tech happening. |
| BTM Layout | Residential,Office | No | Yes | You might see established software companies around this area. But good for residents. |
| Halasuru | Residential,Office | Yes | Yes | Dense with tech people living here. The neighbourhoods are decently posh. However, they’re unlikely to be as expensive as Indiranagar though. |
| Marathahalli | Office | Yes | No | High concentration of offices, buildings, and high rise apartments. A lot of tech people live here. Cons: Farther away from the city. |
| Kengeri | Residential | No | No | Far from the city and tech scenes. Unlikely for startups to be found here. |
| Kalyan Nagar | Residential | Yes | Yes | Upcoming tech area and a new-age Indiranagar. Recommend folks check Kalyan Nagar out as an alternative to Indiranagar. |

Name

Type

Notes

Colaba

Residential,Office

This is the place to be in. Retains Mumbai’s old architecture and contains a mix of residential + office spots. Also a great place to live in but the rental costs could be super high, unfortunately.

Nariman Point

Office

Retains Mumbai’s old architecture, has the marine drive stretch, and contains a lot of office buildings. Dense with tech people.

Malabar Hills (Walkeshwar)

Residential

Elite of the elite residential area - home to Antilla (Ambani residence), and numerous top Indian industrialists across majority business houses.

Lower Parel/Worli

Residential,Office

If you’re interested in meeting your idols, a casual stroll around Lower Parel is great for that. This place consists of a lot of hangout spots — clubs, spas, malls, and more. It’s an expensive side of town to live in, though. Home of the Lal Baigh Raja - largest and most iconic of the Ganesh installments during the festival in August.

Dadar

Residential,Office

Renowned for local train hub (intersection of Western, Central and Harbour line rail tracks) & out-station. Dominant in residential, the region is sprinkled with offices, known for its local food joints and iconic tourist spots like Shivaji Park, Chaitanya Bhoomi/Ambedkar Memorial.

Bandra

Office,Residential

Quick context: Bandra also includes Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). Lots of offices and startups around this place. Unfortunately, it’s also a very posh neighbourhood. It has the Bandstand Promenade nearby (good for a de-stress walk if you can reach by foot).

Kurla, Chembur, Ghatkopar

Residential

These places listed are closer to BKC. It also extends to Sakinaka, an eastern suburb. These regions serve as a good living option with affordable housing and homely neighborhoods.

Vile Parle, Santacruz

Residential

Serene place. It has a beach nearby. It’s residential and a good place for families given the area is well-developed and has all basic amenities covered. Lots of places around for food and things to do.

Andheri

Office,Residential

Crowded. This neighbourhood has a high concentration of offices and buildings. Reasonable place to live in if you have to move to Mumbai (even if your office is in Colaba, Lower Parel, Bandra).

Powai

Residential

A quieter and family-oriented (upscale suburban) neighbourhood. Not recommended for tech, though home to IIT Bombay campus. Sprinkled with few corporate office, the place is known for its top restaurants, bars and restobars.

Goregaon

Residential,Office

Dense with offices (with more companies shifting base here) and tech people living here. The neighbourhoods are decently posh. The cost of living in Goregaon can, thus, get pretty high.

Malad

Residential,Office

An obscure fact for you: Malad has the most number of popular vada pav spots. This part of town also has a high concentration of offices, buildings, and high rise apartments.

Borivali

Residential

Not a lot of tech folks live here. There are also fewer startups located in this area. But, the locality is residential and a great place for families.

Thane

Residential

While a district of its own, it houses many residential complexes offering affordable accomodation (but can get a fair bit expensive in Hirandani and similar gated communities). Also home to several factories and industrial areas. Dampner here being travel time to central parts of Mumbai.

Navi Mumbai

Residential,Office

Notes

Adyar

Residential

A great locality, with easy connectivity to the city's landmarks as well as the IT hub on OMR. Ideal for young parents, given the high concentration of schools in the area.

Alandur, Nanganallur

Residential

Chennai suburbs, slowly picking up pace due to their proximity to the airport and the tech hub in Guindy.

Ambattur

Industrial

Ambattur is home to the city's industrial and engineering companies - ideal for hardware, semiconductor fabrication, and mechatronics.

Anna Nagar

Residential

Affluent residential area, Anna Nagar is a self sustaining world of its own with enough schools, restaurants, and community centers in the neighbourhood. However, it is located away from popular startup hubs like OMR and Guindy.

Ashok Nagar, KK Nagar

Residential

Upscale locality near the tech hubs in Guindy. Self sustaining neighbourhoods with their own schools, cultural centers, and shopping complexes.

Besant Nagar

Like Adyar, but with the added bonus of being near the beach. Besant Nagar beach is an ideal weekend hangout spot, Sunday mornings are car-free.

Chepauk

Commercial

Home to the cricket stadium, and close to the beach.

Egmore

Commercial

High end residential, but more Madras than Chennai. Cultural and heritage center.

Guindy

Nungambakkam

Upscale locality, wealthy Chennai-ites live, and have businesses here. Possibly the most cosmopolitan location in Chennai. Also home to most of the popular colleges in the city.

Parrys

The city's first commercial neighbourhood. Close to the harbour, you can find all of the major banks here. Narrow and densely populated, very commercialized. Also a center of the city's heritage, go on a heritage walk when you're free.

Perungudi, Thoraipakkam, Shollinganallur, Navalur

Residential,Commercial

All these localities are along OMR, one of the city's arterial roads and home to the city's IT hub.

Velachery

Residential

Since the IT boom, Velachery has become a residential hub for startup and tech folks because of its proximity to OMR and Tidel Park.

Team @ResearchWright is geared up for the challenging times. We just got our health insurance started with @getplumhq. Love the easy process and the benefits of Plum.

Having used insurance in every company I have worked at; the communication between hospitals and insurance is extremely stressful. So glad to see someone solving a dire problem!

We use @getplumhq @ MSD HR team got whole thing up & running just like that. We'd been researching for months to get a solution in place & it fell in place so quickly when we met these guys. Talk to @tanish2k this team & their product - top class #notapaidtweet #justteamPlumfan

Just used the Telehealth feature on @getplumhq to consult with a doctor. Smooth experience in terms of consultation, scheduling, and engagement 💯. Old school browser booking followed up via email communications. Didn't have to download an app.

Buying insurance from @getplumhq has been a brilliant experience! Their sales and onboarding process is something every founder should go through while structuring their own. #CustomerExperience

I got you. Also, how soon is soon? 😃
Also, I recently got a chance to use Plum, and man, it’s more refreshing than most health care benefit interfaces that I have used.

Looking forward to Plum and Navi. Probably the only two companies that will make a good difference to insurance customer experience in the country.

Genuine appreciation tweet for @getplumhq - I didn’t realize getting group insurance would be this smooth. Kudos @thesanerguy - this industry needed disruption and happy to see Plum doing it the right way
