onezero-kicks-off-2025-with-focus-on-driving-innovation-and-announcement-of-lpga-sponsorship

BOSTON, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — oneZero, a global leader in multi-asset enterprise trading technology solutions, is kicking off 2025 with the announcement of a new brand campaign “Driving Innovation”, complemented by the sponsorship of Alexa Pano, a rising star in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). This partnership reflects oneZero’s commitment to fostering a culture of resilience, progress and innovation. oneZero’s focus on “Driving Innovation” has been showcased in the recent transformative investment in oneZero by Golden Gate Capital, a series of industry recognized disruptive capabilities for banks and institutional brokers, and a set of 2025 innovations highlighted by oneZero’s CEO at the end of 2024.

Hailing from Westborough, Massachusetts, near oneZero’s Boston based headquarters, Alexa Pano exemplifies the values that resonate deeply with oneZero: determination, hard work and innovation. As a young athlete making waves in professional golf, Alexa’s journey aligns with oneZero’s mission to drive innovation in the financial markets and redefine what’s possible.

oneZero selected Alexa Pano for her influential presence in the LPGA, aligning with the company’s dedication to empowering women and promoting gender equality, as well as the desire to advance the brand through sport, in an industry that historically underemphasizes the momentum of programs such as the LPGA.

“This partnership with Alexa Pano represents more than just support for a promising athlete; it’s a celebration of innovation and breaking boundaries,” said Andrew Ralich, CEO and co-founder of oneZero. “Alexa’s determination on the course mirrors oneZero’s resolve to revolutionize financial technology,” added Andrew Ralich.

Alexa Pano expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “I’m thrilled to partner with oneZero, a company that values hard work and innovation as much as I do. Their support not only fuels my journey on the LPGA Tour but also highlights the importance of empowering women in sports and beyond. I’m excited to work with oneZero to inspire others and make an impact together.”

Engaging both employees and clients through sport has been an integral part of oneZero’s culture since the firm’s inception. As part of the sponsorship, Alexa will engage in oneZero-hosted golf events, including their flagship golf event in Miami next month, as well as oneZero’s participation in the annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Golf for Kids golf outing, a charity that oneZero management has remained engaged with for many years. Alexa will feature the oneZero logo on her apparel at these events and while on tour.

oneZero’s recent investment from Golden Gate Capital, announced in November 2024, is accelerating oneZero’s organic growth and M&A strategy. This is enabling oneZero to further expand its innovative technology solutions and strengthen its position as a leading technology partner in the global OTC trading market.

“We are excited to showcase more examples in the coming months of how our organization, alongside Alexa, will continue to “drive innovation” in 2025!” added Andrew Ralich.

About Alexa Pano

Alexa Pano is an LPGA golfer recognized as one of the sport’s brightest up-and-coming talents. Known for her tenacity and skill, Alexa’s accomplishments on the golf course have made her a role model for aspiring athletes and a powerful advocate for women in sports. Alexa recently finished T-10 at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open. In 2023, she won the ISPS Handa World Invitational on her 19th birthday for her first career professional victory on the LPGA Tour.

GURUGRAM, India, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Policybazaar, in collaboration with its insurer partners, has lifted the caregiving worry off the shoulders of its NRI customers by introducing a range of comprehensive services as part of the NRI Care Program. The program includes benefits such as dedicated NRI concierge services including hospitalization and claims support for NRIs and their elderly parents living in India. Policybazaar is now stepping up to provide absolute peace of mind for its NRI consumers through emergency and healthcare management as well. Health insurance in India for NRI’s senior citizen parents is thoughtfully designed to fulfill every aspect of elderly caregiving. These services ensure that NRIs and their senior citizen parents receive top-notch support on priority.

Comprehensive elderly care under one roof

Notably, 50% of these NRIs prioritize securing the well-being of their elderly family members in India. Our research indicates that more than 70% of the NRIs expressed the need for support in services such as right doctor or hospital identification in India and thereafter with claims paperwork.

These services include:

Emergency and concierge support: A 24/7 emergency helpline dedicated to NRIs ensures immediate assistance during critical moments. Additionally, concierge services help manage essential formalities and documentation seamlessly.

Healthcare needs management: NRI Care program provides access to doctors on call, tailored medical consultations, ambulance coverage and guidance on hospital selection among other benefits. It also facilitates sessions with psychologists and physiotherapists.

Social engagement and wellness activities: Seniors can access engaging activities and lively events to stay active and socially connected, along with counseling services to support their emotional well-being.

Streamlined claim support and tailored assistance: Policybazaar has also introduced a unique on-ground claim support service, promising assistance within 30 minutes for emergency needs. This swift and personalized approach underscores Policybazaar’s commitment to making the claims process as stress-free as possible for senior citizens and their families.

A solution tailored to NRIs’ needs

“Our aim is to provide NRIs with a worry-free experience, knowing their loved ones in India are being cared for with the utmost professionalism and empathy. By integrating healthcare management, social engagement, and emergency services, we are redefining senior care, making it holistic and truly impactful,” says Sarbvir Singh, Joint Group CEO, PB Fintech.

“Recognizing the dual challenges faced by NRIs in managing professional lives abroad and ensuring the well-being of their families in India, the NRI Care Program bridges this critical gap.

We aim at offering a blend of practicality and compassion that sets a new benchmark for eldercare services,” says Siddharth Singhal, Head, Health Insurance, Policybazaar.com.

With this forward-looking approach, Policybazaar is empowering NRIs to support their elderly family members, ensuring they live a life of dignity, health and joy – no matter where their loved ones reside.
