Hello, Matthew Grant here, one of the partners from Instech, London, and welcome back to the

Instac London podcast.

Or if this is your first time,

thank you very much for joining us. So for this week, we've got two great stories from a couple of

founders who spoke to us at our last event at the Steeryard in February when we had 250 people

joining us. It seems pretty extraordinary now. Now both companies are in the early stages of

launching but we've been really impressed by how much these two founders have already achieved.

Cy Lakshmi has already founded and sold one business which is Echo of pharmacy and he's now

launching Kora to bring together various things correlated into one application.

Amit Patel is a trained surgeon but he he has also spent seven years at Buper Ventures

and is launching healthy as a new way to offer health insurance.

It's only a few weeks since we spoke to them and a lot may have changed around us since then,

but I've no doubt we're going to be seeing a lot more from both these companies in the near future.

So, Sy, you have already done one startup and you've been successful.

Before we talk about that and what you're doing, let's just a quick reminder of what you're doing at Kara.

Sure. So just again, I always love audience participation. Who drives a car in this room?

Who finds it a pain in the ass to drive your car? Like in terms of all the payments,

MOT taxes and all of that stuff? Yeah, most of you basically. Okay. So at Cora, what we're basically building for drivers is a tool to manage all of the different payments associated with your car. So we're building the tool to manage MOT, road tax, tolls, parking, congestion charge, and, of course, insurance, all in one seamless application.

And we get that?

And a lot of people are like, are you going to do all of that in one go?

And the answer is yes.

So we're actually going to be launching in public in about a month's time.
