Recently, URLife announced a strategic partnership with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), further elevating corporate wellness initiatives. This collaboration spans 94 HPCL sites and introduces a holistic health ecosystem featuring weekly doctor visits, 24/7 virtual doctor support, and emergency management solutions. The initiative extends wellness resources not only to employees but also to their families, ensuring that health becomes an integral part of their daily lives.
Upasana Kamineni Konidela emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “Wellness is not just a buzzword; it is the foundation of a thriving society. Our partnership with HPCL reflects our deep commitment to empowering people to take charge of their health. This is about making wellness accessible and essential, not optional.”
