Delhi-based startup Appnuerons Technologies expects the user base of its Smartdiet Planner app to cross 10 lakh by May 2022, as it plans to expand partnership with pharma retailers across the country to boost its reach. The company has 1.7 lakh downloads with 1 lakh registered users within four months of starting the artificial intelligence-based diet plan service.
‘It has been four months since we commenced our operations and we have seen 1 lakh users. We have started reaching out to pharma retailers across the country to boost our reach. Our target is to reach 10 lakh users by May 2022,’ Smartdiet co-founder Puneet Manchanda told PTI. Before starting the venture, Manchanda worked with IBM for 16 years.
‘During the time of the pandemic, the mortality rate has been 10 times in people with comorbidities like obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. ‘People have realized the power of nutrition to lead a healthy life. We are offering diet plans on a partially free basis and the paid plans are available for less than USD 2 per month. We have 125 doctors who have subscribed to our service,’ Manchanda said.
