Dhani is an Indian software company. Its app provides digital financial and healthcare services.[2]

History

The company was founded by Sameer Gehlaut in 1995, as Indiabulls Ventures Limited which was later renamed Dhani Services Limited in October 2020 to accommodate the consumer business of the Indiabulls Group under one brand name.[3] In 2017, one of its subsidiaries, Indiabulls Consumer Finance Limited launched an app-based lending platform primarily focused on the personal loans' domain.[4] In October 2020, the subsidiary also adopted a new name as Dhani Loans & Services Limited.[5][6] Another subsidiary, Indiabulls Securities Limited adopted a new name Dhani Stocks Limited in 2020[7] and a new company Dhani Healthcare Limited was incorporated to offer telemedicine and online pharmacy services.[8]

Funding

Services

Dhani's super app combines an online wallet with buy now, pay later facility plus a subscription fee[11] & primary healthcare services under OneFreedom. In Dhani OneFreedom's subscription business model, depending on how much credit limit the customer is granted irrespective of the actual limit utilization, the interest charged on it which is termed a monthly subscription exponentially rises.[11] In its gamified ecosystem, customers use multiple products within the app to perform mobile recharge, loan repayments, and insurance payments. The platform now also offers direct investments in stocks listed on Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India.[12][13]

In 2020, the company integrated online pharmacy with its super app. Within it Dhani Doctor, a telemedicine service including instant video consultations with in-house doctors was added.[14]

In 2021, Dhani's super-app was rated as one of the best personal loan applications in India by The New Indian Express.[15]
