Loop, India’s leading Group health insurance and health benefits provider, today announced the launch of the Workforce Health Index (WHI), India’s first national-level benchmark report on the health of working professionals. Built on 214,142 lab test parameters and lifestyle surveys from 3,437 professionals across major cities, the report provides unprecedented insights into the biological and lifestyle health of India’s urban workforce.

Loop Health Survey Report

The WHI uncovers systemic health risks that threaten long-term productivity:

• Metabolic health: 37.2% of professionals show abnormal glucose metabolism-early signals of diabetes risk in prime career years.

• Sleep & stress: 27.3% sleep less than 6 hours nightly, while 33.9% report high stress. Women report 17% higher stress levels than men.

• Gender health gap: 36.5% of female professionals are clinically anemic compared to 8.2% of men, a 4.5x difference.

• City hotspots: Delhi NCR shows 34.8% liver dysfunction, while over 82% Mumbai have HDL cholesterol below the protective level of 50 mg/dL.

“India’s workforce is running on borrowed health,” said Mayank Kale, Co-founder & CEO of Loop. “The Workforce Health Index gives leaders measurable proof of what’s at stake. Without timely interventions, organizations risk shorter careers, rising claims, and lost productivity. But with the right policies, we can extend healthy working years and strengthen our growth story.”

Health experts note that many risks stem from systemic and workplace drivers, not just personal choices. “These are not isolated lifestyle lapses,” said Harpreet Singh, President, Healthcare, Loop. “The data shows patterns shaped by work culture, access to preventive care, and benefit design. This means employers have the power to change the trajectory.”

The WHI is designed as a decision-making tool for CFOs, CHROs, and policymakers, helping them shape benefits, workplace design, and preventive health strategies. Loop plans to update the index annually, enabling leaders to track trends and measure progress.

A man in Delhi once dismissed electric cars as little more than expensive appliances on wheels. He liked the idea of clean mobility but could not see himself behind the wheel of something he thought would feel dull. That opinion shifted the day he tried a new electric SUV with adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and a connected infotainment system that spoke to his phone as naturally as his home apps. For him, the switch was not about saving on fuel, although it’s still a significant amount. It was about discovering that driving could feel smarter.

With the arrival of affordable premium models like VinFast’s VF 6 and VF 7, Indian car buyers are beginning to see electric vehicles less as frugal green machines and more as tech-rich companions that promise comfort, safety, and smarter driving

The New Priorities of Indian Car Buyers

For quite some time, Indian consumers are usually portrayed as a way to cut fuel costs and reduce emissions. That message still matters, but the market is showing signs of a different hunger. Electric cars made up only about 2.5 percent of India’s passenger vehicle sales in 2024. Yet momentum is building. In the first half of 2025, sales of electric cars and SUVs hit about 74,539 units, a 53 percent jump from the year before.

What drives this growth may not be just lower running costs, as was revealed by the shifting priorities seen in consumer surveys. A study shows that 72 percent of Indian buyers are open to switching brands, and a third point to technology and features as the deciding factor. Eighty-eight percent say they are willing to share personal data if it improves connected services. And 62 percent rank quality and features above price. These figures suggest Indian buyers are not content with bare-bones cars. They want vehicles that can adapt, connect, and protect.

That means the in-car experience now matters as much as range or charging time. Buyers expect a car to provide navigation that feels intuitive, assistance systems that watch the road, and cabins that keep the air clean. In short, the vehicle must feel intelligent, not just economical.

VF 6 and VF 7: Tailored Made for Indian Roads and Families

Into this landscape come the compact VF 6 and sporty VF 7, the ambitious Vietnamese EV maker VinFast’s first electric SUVs built in India at its new Thoothukudi facility. The VF 6 is a compact premium SUV, while the VF 7 is larger and sportier. Both carry technology that speaks directly to Indian preferences.

When it comes to safety, the list of technology is extensive. Each vehicle offers Advanced Driver Assistance at Level 2, a 360-degree surround view, and automatic emergency braking. The VF 7 adds a driver monitoring camera to keep attention on the road. On crowded streets, these systems can matter as much as horsepower.

Inside the cabin, the focus shifts to connectivity. A 12.9-inch infotainment display supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a coloured head-up display and several drive modes. Comfort is not overlooked, with ventilated seats, dual-zone air conditioning with PM 1.0 filtration, and panoramic glass roofs that make the cabin feel more open.

Range and charging speeds aim to cut daily hassles. A quick charge from 10 to 70 percent takes roughly 25 minutes, and certified ranges stretch as far as 468 kilometers for the VF 6 and 532 km for the VF 7. This mix of short charging stops and long distance capability tackles two of the biggest concerns for buyers: waiting at chargers and running out of power on the highway.

For Indian families, these features mean cleaner air inside the cabin and less time spent at service centers. Young professionals see seamless digital links and a design that feels in step with the times. Price-conscious buyers find value without giving up the conveniences common in global models. Together, they suggest these SUVs are built to deliver a premium smart experience that turns EVs from eco gadgets into everyday companions.

Back to the driver in Delhi. Once skeptical, he now notices how the car anticipates his needs, protects him in traffic, and eases the grind of long commutes. For him, and for many Indians entering the EV market, electric cars are no longer just about cutting costs or emissions. They are about driving smarter.

On the occasion of World Animal Day, more than one hundred children of Cambridge School, Srinivaspuri have written to the Prime Minister of India to end cruel elephant rides in Jaipur in Amer Fort. These children support the campaign of World Animal Protection that has been going on for more than a decade to stop cruelty to elephant rides in Amer Fort in Jaipur. The children of Cambridge School, Srinivaspuri, have learnt, through the initiative of their school, their teachers and above all, themselves, came to the realization that elephants are wild creatures who should be cherished in the wild, where they belong, and not exploited in inimical surroundings in places like Amer Fort.

“We are extremely pleased that children, the voices and representatives of India’s future, have taken the bold step of writing to the country’s most powerful decision maker,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India. “Children are the stewards of India’s biological diversity and it is so encouraging to see them taking this initiative to implore the Prime Minister of India to honour India’s National Heritage Animal.”

World Animal Protection is currently celebrating seventy five years of the founding of the organization. Over the years, the organization has helped animals in a diverse range of situations from rescuing animals in disasters, wildlife in entertainment, examination of the zoo establishment, sterilization and vaccination of street dogs, exposing inhumane and unhygienic conditions in factory farms and encouraging stakeholders, government and non government to adopt animal friendly policies.

Jaipur as a UNESCO World Heritage City offers tourists a whole range of opportunities to immerse themselves in history and culture, without harming animals. In fact the presence of captive elephants in Amer Fort is not in consonance with the dignity of the historical heritage of the pink city. There are some positive signs of creating a large elephant sanctuary in Kerala, and this model might be replicated for Rajasthan.

World Animal Protection has engaged with teachers and students of Cambridge School in Srinivaspuri and other schools to sensitise them to the needs of wildlife in entertainment and the plight of animals in food systems. World Animal Protection encourages food choices that take us away from meat based diets to plant based diets that are helpful for animals, human health and the environment. World Animal Protection also persistently highlights the risk of zoonotic diseases that can be an offshoot of wildlife exploitation in captivity and intensive factory farming. In this regard, World Animal Protection pays tribute to Jane Goodall for her stalwart efforts to protect animals all her life and mourns her death.

World Animal Day comes close on the heels of Gandhi Jayanti, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation who covered animals very deeply within his ambit of compassion. World Animal Protection has written to government and non government stakeholders to retire the riding elephants of Amer Fort in Jaipur to a suitable wildlife friendly sanctuary where they can be rehabilitated for the rest of their lives. “We are hopeful that the Prime Minister will heed the heartfelt pleas of the children who want elephants to live free and wild animals to live free on the occasion of this World Animal Day, in 2025,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India.
