Ambulance pilots are the unsung heroes of healthcare, risking their lives to ensure patients receive timely care during life-threatening situations. RED.Health, Asia’s only JCI-accredited and India’s largest emergency medical response platform, recognizes their immense contribution and honors their commitment by addressing them as “pilots,” reflecting the respect they deserve. As part of its mission to prioritize the well-being of these frontline heroes, RED.Health has introduced a transformative welfare program that aims to enhance their quality of life and create a secure future for them and their families.
The program reflects RED.Health’s belief that the strength of its operations lies in the dedication of its people. It offers a range of benefits designed to address financial stability, career growth, and holistic well-being. Captains, for instance, are eligible to receive up to monthly INR 1,000 per child in school fee sponsorships, easing the burden of education expenses. Other perks include a spectacles benefit of INR 500 per year for all pilots and medical insurance coverage worth INR 3,600 annually for senior pilots, with enhanced coverage of INR 6,000 for captains. Lifestyle benefits of INR 7,500 annually for captains further enhance their daily living, along with access to premium office kits and additional allowances that ensure they feel supported both at work and at home.
Prabhdeep Singh, Founder and CEO of RED.Health, shared his perspective on the initiative and said, “Our ambulance pilots are at the heart of our emergency response system, embodying courage and compassion in the face of adversity. They are the first to respond during crises. It’s their dedication that inspired us to create meaningful programs that go beyond appreciation, offering tangible support to improve their lives. This welfare program reflects our gratitude and commitment to their well-being. We want every pilot to know that their efforts are valued, their families are cared for, and their futures are secure. This is our way of building a legacy of respect, care, and purpose for those who serve with unparalleled dedication.”
The welfare program extends across RED.Health’s operations in India and will benefit over 500 pilots based on performance and promotions. In addition to financial benefits, the program offers career growth opportunities, promotions, and a path to long-term job security. Plans for post-retirement support have also been introduced, allowing retired pilots to contribute through advisory or training roles, ensuring continued involvement in a mission-driven ecosystem.
Recognizing the challenges these frontline heroes face, RED.Health has partnered with fitness centers like Cult to promote physical well-being and with fintech companies to provide salary advances, microloans, and investment plans. Cashback options on daily expenses have also been introduced through strategic partnerships. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to reduce financial stress and enhance the quality of life for pilots and their families.
As part of its long-term vision, RED.Health also plans to implement additional initiatives such as cross-functional training in fleet management and logistics, soft skills development workshops, housing assistance programs, and emergency funds. These measures aim to build professional resilience while fostering a sense of belonging and pride within the organization.
