Moving mountains

  • More than 100 investors rejected his vision to create a healthcare platform. But Azran Osman-Rani persevered and eventually found a believer in 500 Global, a VC team that recognized the potential of his idea.
  • Witnessing his father’s struggle with healthcare, he felt the need to address both physical and mental health holistically. Today, Azran is set to transform corporate healthcare across Southeast Asia.
  • His company Naluri, which means instinct or intuition in Malay, is now serving people across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. Soon, the team will expand into the Philippines.
  • With an initial client base of corporate organizations, Naluri now also provides their services to insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. Their comprehensive solution includes assessments to identify risk factors, digital coaching programs, and access to medical professionals.
  • Naluri’s focus also lies in data collection. By capturing the impact of their interventions on employee health, they aim to convince insurance companies to cover preventative mental and physical healthcare.
  • This, in turn, would lead to a healthier workforce, ultimately reducing the burden of expensive medical treatments down the line.
  • Azran looks forward to technological advancements to further enhance what Naluri can offer. Generative AI, for instance, can help psychologists automate tasks like base note summarization, freeing them to focus on personalized care.
