Tech in Asia - Health is wealth for India’s Goqii

Daily Newsletter

Hello there ,

In the 2001 film Bridget Jones's Diary, the titular character tracks her calorie intake, her alcohol consumption, and how many cigarettes she’s smoked in her diary, penning these down along with her thoughts.

The film came out just over 20 years ago, and the world has changed tremendously since then. If we’re counting calories or tracking our drinking, there are a plethora of apps out in the market for that. From healthtech wearables to fitness apps, the way we understand and manage our health has transformed significantly - and India-based health startup Goqii is one of the up-and-coming players in this space.
