Indian healthcare AI startup Qure.AI aiming for IPO in two years, CEO says

Qure.AI, an India-based startup providing artificial intelligence tools to healthcare firms, is aiming to turn profitable in the next financial year and for an initial public offer (IPO) in two years, its CEO told Reuters.
The company, founded in 2016 and largely backed by AI firm Fractal Analytics, counts Peak XV Partners and Novo Nordisk's Novo Holdings among its investors, and has raised $125 million in funding so far, CEO Prashant Warier said.
"We look to break even and be profitable next financial year. As we sort of get to that break-even...we can start planning. And maybe in two-and-a-half years or two years is the earliest we can do an IPO," he said last week.
He declined to elaborate on the firm's valuation. The firm was valued at $264 million as of November 2024, according to data from market intelligence platform Tracxn.
Qure.AI provides AI solutions in diagnostics for early detection of tuberculosis, lung cancer and stroke risks. Its global clients include AstraZeneca, and Medtronic and Johnson and Johnson MedTech in India.
The global market for AI in healthcare, valued at $14.92 billion in 2024, is expected to grow to $110 billion by 2030, according to market estimates.
AI is being rapidly adopted by healthcare service providers around the world for early detection of diseases and to streamline work for overburdened professionals, according to industry experts.
"We're growing at a rate of 60 per cent-70 per cent every year (in revenue) and I think we probably will accelerate in the next five years," Warier said, adding that they serve around 15 million patients annually.
QureAI derives about 25 per cent of revenue from the United States, which is its largest market, and is also eyeing expansion in the market with further partnerships, he said.
The company also is focusing on on low-and middle-income countries in Latin America and Africa. India, however, is a much smaller market for the firm, contributing less than 5 per cent of revenue.

Commentary: Uncertainty around Air India 787 crash will add to Boeing's woes

SINGAPORE: Instead of hobnobbing and securing deals at the Paris Air Show last week, senior Boeing officials were in Gurugram to lend support to Air India following the horrific crash of flight 171 on Jun 12. Before the tragedy, the American planemaker might have been counting on a triumphant turnaround after the debacle involving the 737 Max. And it had been an unusually busy time for Boeing. It reported over 300 orders between May and June, fuelled partly by United States President Donald Trump's state visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. Qatar Airways put in an order of up to 210 planes, which included 130 Boeing 787s – the 'largest order for 787 Dreamliners' according to the manufacturer. The Doha-based airline also agreed to purchase 30 new 777-9 jets, with options for 50 additional aircraft. In May, the US Justice Department also dropped its criminal case against Boeing for its role in two fatal 737 Max crashes. This has now been overshadowed by the disaster in Ahmedabad, where a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after take-off, killing at least 270, including all but one of 242 onboard. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DREAMLINER This is the first fatal accident involving a Dreamliner. What caused it is still unknown, but this uncertainty will no doubt add to Boeing's woes. Conceptualised over 20 years ago, the 787 Dreamliner was Boeing's response to rising jet fuel prices, the market's desire for a more fuel-efficient jet and an attempt to regain an edge over Airbus. It was first publicly revealed in January 2003 as the 7E7, with the 'E' standing for efficiency, economic and environmental performance. I still have a memento from a visit to Seattle before it became the 787. A year later, Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) was the first to order 50 jets, with deliveries slated to start in 2008. Delays, however, plagued production (not uncommon for most new types of jet, such as the Airbus A380). The first Dreamliner was delivered in 2011. The first commercial flight, from Tokyo to Hong Kong, was on Oct 26, 2011. One passenger even paid US$34,000 to secure a seat on the historic flight. The 787 has now flown for over 14 years, safely transporting over 875 million passengers as of April 2024 according to Boeing. Still, it had its share of concerns and complaints. One of ANA's 787 jets suffered electrical system issues in 2013, arising out of the aircraft's lithium-ion batteries which caused a fire. A Japan Airlines (JAL) 787 also suffered a fire while parked in Boston, prompting the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to order the grounding of the entire Dreamliner fleet. Boeing also halted Dreamliner deliveries in 2021 due to concerns about production flaws and inspection methods, and again in 2023 for additional fuselage testing. An FAA audit after the January 2024 Alaska Airline's mid-air blowout found production issues while a separate FAA report raised concerns about Boeing's safety culture, amid whistleblowers coming forward. CRITICISMS OF THE 787 UNFAIR, FOR NOW In light of the Air India crash, more concerns and criticisms of the Dreamliner have appeared. But until we learn conclusively from the official probe, it is best not to speculate and jump to conclusions. These are harmful and disrespectful to Air India, Boeing and especially to the families and loved ones of those who perished. Clarification on the AI171's engine history has nevertheless been critical to quell wild speculation. The airline's chairman, N Chandrasekaran, said the aircraft in question had a clean engine history. Air India also said in a statement that one engine was new and the other had been inspected in April. This is important because there have been several instances of the Dreamliner experiencing engine shutdowns without the pilot initiating them – which had been the matter of many discussions among aircraft engineers, pilots and air safety experts after the crash. The 787 uses specific engines: the GEnx-1B, made by GE and the Trent 1000, manufactured by Rolls-Royce. Air India's 787 fleet is powered by the GEnx. In October 2018, a Scoot 787-9 experienced an uncommanded engine shutdown of its right Trent 1000 engine on descent into Perth Airport, caused by a blocked inlet filter. Two years earlier, a mid-air engine shutdown aboard a Jetstar Airways 787-8 was attributed to an issue within the transfer gearbox of the GEnx-1B engine during a Tokyo-Gold Coast flight. Virgin Atlantic's CEO in 2024 criticised Rolls-Royce over the Trent 1000's durability. 'It's not that it's not safe, just to be clear,' Shai Weiss stressed, 'it's just the number of cycles you can run a plane with.' Supply chain challenges are affecting the 787, too, irrespective of the engine type selected by the airline, impacting other carriers like British Airways, Air New Zealand and Kenya Airways. MAKING FLYING SAFER Mr Chandrasekaran said that preliminary findings will likely be known in about 30 days. But a final report is likely to take longer as Indian authorities have yet to decide where the jet's black box recorders should be sent for analysis. Until then, Boeing will likely have to grapple with travellers questioning the safety of the 787 Dreamliner. Safety checks by India's Directorate of Civil Aviation have been completed on 26 out of Air India's 33 Dreamliners. The FAA has also said it is 'too premature' to ground Dreamliners in the United States. The airline industry, by definition, is very complex. Mechanical and human factors go hand in hand on each of the over 100,000 commercial flights undertaken daily on average, notwithstanding elements beyond our control, such as the weather and medical emergencies. While many lives were sadly lost in the AI171 tragedy, investigators, manufacturers and operators must ensure they learn more after identifying all factors that contributed to the accident and then implement changes to make flying even safer.

Increased building height limits near airports could boost land values, unlock urban growth: Analysts

SINGAPORE: Relaxing height limits for buildings near airports could improve land values and unlock urban space for various types of developments, analysts say. Their comments came after Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat said in May that height restrictions on such buildings could be revised later in 2025, potentially paving the way for taller residential and commercial developments. Speaking in his portfolio then as transport minister, Mr Chee said the proposed changes could enable buildings in various areas across Singapore to be built higher - by up to 15 storeys more for residential use and up to nine storeys more for industrial and commercial purposes. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore has been working on this with the International Civil Aviation Organization, which is reviewing its height restriction requirements for the first time since the 1950s. Creating high-rise urban districts closer to airports can boost growth in sectors like tourism, hospitality and aviation-related services, as well as promote broader economic diversification, said Mr Hsieh Cheng-Hsien, an associate professor from the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). 'Through the safe optimisation of airspace facilitated by advanced navigation technologies, Singapore is well-positioned to improve land-use efficiency while maintaining stringent flight safety standards," he added. 'Areas previously restricted due to aviation constraints may be transformed into dynamic, economically productive urban centres." Singapore has two airports in Changi and Seletar, and four military airbases in Paya Lebar, Sembawang, Changi and Tengah. While the area immediately surrounding Changi Airport may be kept for industrial and warehouse use, neighbouring estates such as Changi, Pasir Ris and Tampines could expect to see taller public and private housing developments, said real estate professor Sing Tien Foo of the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Business School. He noted however that the noise from busy airport activities could still prevent residential development from being located too close. As for Seletar Airport, which caters to smaller private planes, revised height limits could "intensify" industrial and housing developments in the northern and northeastern coastal areas, Prof Sing said. Prof Sing said that for areas near Changi and Seletar airports, land intensity and total land value may increase in the short term, but property prices could decrease if taller buildings can be built with improved construction technologies. 'In the long-term, when the supply becomes more elastic and new space can be developed in the same towns and estates, prices could be moderated and stabilised,' he said. Dr Chua Yang Liang, head of research and consultancy at JLL Southeast Asia, also said any potential impact on property values would also depend on factors like corresponding adjustments to land betterment charges, construction costs and other financial considerations. ADVANCEMENTS IN AVIATION As cities around the world become more densely populated, there has been increasing pressure to free up land closer to airports. Although this might have seemed like a safety risk in the past, improvements in technology have made it safer for planes to fly in denser urban environments, said experts. Assoc Prof Hsieh, who heads a joint SUSS-Singapore Flying College programme, noted that modern planes are equipped with advanced flight management systems that enhance climb and descent profiles, support steeper approach angles and improve obstacle avoidance capabilities. Satellite-based navigation methods, too, now provide pilots with 'extremely precise' flight paths that minimise risks, said Mr John Tan, lead professional officer of aviation management at the Singapore Institute of Technology. 'Additionally, improved radar systems, advanced air traffic management tools and automated alert systems greatly improve pilots' situational awareness and allow quicker responses," he added. However, he warned that there were still risks with allowing taller buildings closer to airports, and that careful assessment would still be needed to guarantee safety. 'Taller buildings could increase risks such as obstructions in flight paths, disruption of radio navigation signals and complications during emergency situations," said Mr Tan. 'Buildings can also influence wind patterns, potentially creating turbulence during take-off and landing.' Any changes in height restrictions will require flight procedures to be updated for arriving and and departing flights, Mr Tan noted. Airport zoning maps, flight manuals and navigational charts must also be 'thoroughly revised". He said Singapore's approach so far to managing urban density near airports mirrored successful global cities like Hong Kong, Tokyo, and London. But Singapore stands out for its "integrated city planning, strict adherence to aviation safety standards and strategic use of advanced technology, all of which set an international benchmark for handling limited land around airports'.

Science Talk: Blended meat could boost Asia's food security

SINGAPORE – Consumer perception studies in Singapore and other South-east Asian countries show that plant-based meat is broadly viewed as an appealing menu option that, unfortunately, comes at a substantial cost. On average, plant-based meats cost 35 per cent more than their animal counterparts, even as some fall short of expectations on taste and texture. Until now, these factors have been driving consumers to satisfy their affinity for meat by purchasing resource-intensive, conventionally produced animal protein. And global meat production is projected to increase by at least 70 per cent by 2050, compared with 2012 levels, fuelled by a growing human population that is becoming more prosperous. All this comes at the expense of Asia's food security and sustainability. According to the World Resources Institute, conventional meat producers currently feed up to 100 calories to a cow to create just one calorie of beef. Such staggering inefficiency accelerates deforestation and water depletion locally and globally, and sets greenhouse gas emissions on an upward trajectory – the exact opposite of what is needed to meet climate targets. But even as some start-ups and researchers remain laser-focused on enhancing the quality and price-competitiveness of plant-based meats, others are exploring a new strategy: combining plant proteins with animal meat to make one compelling product. This new generation of 'blended' products mixes conventional meat with high-quality alternative proteins – usually from soya, pea or fungi – in a way that reduces the overall percentage of animal-sourced ingredients in the final product. Integrating alternative proteins into conventional meat supply could substantially reduce our food system's massive carbon hoofprint, mitigate supply chain risks, and deliver significant public and personal health benefits. Plant proteins, for instance, contain no cholesterol, have extremely low saturated fat and high fibre, and require up to 96 per cent less land and 99 per cent less water to produce than conventional meat. The ecological impact would be so significant that if Burger King and McDonald's – which together account for 2 per cent to 3 per cent of global beef purchases – changed their hamburger patties to 50/50 blends, demand for agricultural land would shrink by 8.5 million ha, an area more than 115 times the size of Singapore. Sensing a market opportunity, several Asia-Pacific companies are actively exploring the blended meat space. Australian start-up Harvest B recently debuted a line of blended meats that combine plant protein with diced beef and lamb. Malaysian company BaseFood produces fully plant-based products, but also sells its plant protein as an ingredient to conventional meat producers to help them strengthen their supply chain resilience without compromising on affordability or flavour. Perhaps most surprisingly, global alternative protein brand Quorn, which sold exclusively meat-free meals for decades, announced a plan to blend its products with pork as part of a food service deal with National Health Service hospitals in Britain. At first glance, that may seem like a step backwards for a brand focused on accelerating a shift away from animal agriculture. But since blended meat purchases will be made by consumers who would have likely otherwise chosen conventional meat, it is also an opportunity to introduce alternative proteins to a much wider swathe of diners. While blended meat products have only just begun to reach Asia-Pacific supermarket shelves, studies show that consumer interest in South-east Asia is nearly unanimous. On average, 93 per cent of survey respondents in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines say they are open to giving blends a try, including more than three-quarters of people who identify as sceptical of trying fully plant-based meat and 80 per cent of those who have eaten it before but do not intend to again. Producers of other forms of alternative protein, like cultivated meat – which is grown directly from animal cells, rather than made from plants – are watching the blended meat space closely to see if it offers a useful model for how to more quickly ramp up production. Cultivated meats are already near taste parity with their conventional counterparts, since they are made with genuine animal protein produced through innovative new methods, but production costs remain orders of magnitude higher than for plant-based meat. To start addressing that concern and to scale up operations more cost-effectively, Dutch cellular agriculture start-up Meatable recently forged a partnership with Singaporean contract manufacturer TruMeat. They aim to develop cultivated ingredients that are 'designed to complement and integrate into the existing traditional meat industry's supply chains' – a page taken right out of the blended meat playbook. It is not yet clear what messaging strategy will be most effective at conveying the benefits of plant-animal blends to curious shoppers, but in large-scale blind taste tests, blended meat has received broadly positive feedback from participants – in some cases outperforming the conventional animal meat that consumers know and love. (The Good Food Institute Asia Pacific is currently conducting the first Asia-focused sensory study on blended meat, in collaboration with Singaporean scientists.) And though these are still early days, some companies have already managed to meet or surpass price parity with conventional animal protein. That means that for shoppers walking down the meat aisle, the healthier and tastier choice could be more affordable too – a potent trifecta. If consumer uptake of blended products is strong enough, it could enable plant-based meat producers to scale up their manufacturing capacity to service the increased demand. That can, in turn, create a virtuous circle as greater economies of scale drive down plant-based meat prices across the board. In other words, if blended products find market success, they can be a meaningful first step towards achieving what existing plant proteins have so far been unable to do: satisfy rising meat demand via more sustainable proteins, bolster regional food security and supply chain resilience, and give consumers an alternative greater than the sum of its parts.
