Former Oura CEO, Harpreet Singh Rai, Joins Loop to Accelerate Preventive Health Innovation
Loop, the insurance and healthcare company on a mission to add 20 healthy years to the lives of working Indians, has announced that Harpreet Singh Rai, former CEO of health-tracking pioneer Oura and an early investor in Loop, has joined Loop as President, Healthcare.
Harpreet brings a decade of experience in building and scaling preventive health solutions that merge science, data, and human behavior. As CEO of Oura from 2018 to 2021, he led the launch of the company's 2nd and 3rd generation rings, selling over 1 million units.

In his new role, Harpreet will lead the development of Loop's healthcare products, working closely with Loop's medical, product, and engineering teams. His focus will be on creating seamless, engaging experiences that help people take charge of their health.
'Indias workforce loses 20 years compared to global peers; not because of destiny, but because our system profits from sickness rather than health. Harpreet has built consumer health products that people actually use and love. Thats exactly the leadership we need to scale prevention beyond corporate walls,' said Mayank Kale, Co-founder and CEO at Loop.
Before Oura, Harpreet spent nine years as a technology portfolio manager at Eminence Capital, focusing on healthcare and technology investments. He began his career in Morgan Stanley's M&A group and holds a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan. His rare blend of engineering, investing, and health leadership uniquely equips him to accelerate Loop's prevention-first approach.
'Loop is building something fundamentally different-Mayank and the team have a unique lens to improve healthcare for India. I'm excited to help make healthcare more accessible, engaging, and measurable for millions of working Indians. This is how we add decades to lives-one person, one family, one company at a time,' said Harpreet Singh Rai.

Daily Briefing: Trump hints at ‘opening up India' with trade deal; L K Advani's prison notebook; Maa movie review
Good morning, Remember that cup of your favourite tea, served with some biscuits or wafers, and that tempting whiff of cakes getting baked in your neighbourhood, on a cloudy morning? Well, that's what the mood is like among the cricket club members in Yorkshire, England's deeply traditional county. With about 800 clubs and over 125,000 recreational players, just like at home, tea here is never taken light or lightly. The 'Cricket Yorkshire Tea of the Year' competition is back, with participants gearing up to send pictures of their mouth-watering tea spreads to the organisers. Word of mouth appreciation and some field trips during tea time shall decide the winner. The contest is expected to get spicier in the coming years with a few Indian clubs. With that, let's move on to the top 5 stories from today's edition: 🚨 Big Story Indian trade negotiators landed in the United States on Friday for in-person talks before the July 9 deadline for the reciprocal tariff pause runs out. American President Donald Trump said that the US and India 'may' sign a trade deal under which the country would 'open up.' The roadblock to a trade deal comes as the US has flagged several non-tariff barriers and high duties in India; however, it has yet to commit to several Indian demands. As the negotiations between India and the US for an interim trade deal enter their final phase, India's oil imports from the US jumped over 270 per cent year-on-year in the first four months of 2025. This jump underscores Delhi's strategy of enhancing American imports amid trade pact negotiations and diversifying its sources of crude oil in a volatile geopolitical and geo-economic environment. India is attempting to step up imports from the US across categories to address America's key concern of a widening goods trade deficit. ⚡ Only in Express The Emergency, 50 years on: Meenakshi Datta Ghosh was the youngest of the five ADMs posted in the national capital when the Emergency was imposed, only to find herself witnessing the Ramlila Maidan rally that preceded, and maybe even hastening the Indira Gandhi government's crackdown. The silence on the Delhi streets was heavy, laced with fear and dread, carving a perfect sight for Ghosh to see how the levers of power were oiled and wills were bent. 'The issue was do I comply with the law, or follow the political cum bureaucratic commands? Do I preserve process and procedure, or do I enable power?… I feel that the Emergency prepared me to overcome everything that came my way,' Ghosh recalls. From the prison diaries: Detained without trial for months in Bangalore Central jail, Lal Krishna Advani maintained a prison notebook. On December 28, 1975, when Emergency was in full swing, the then Jana Sangh leader wrote that PM Indira Gandhi wanted the Constitution to be changed after a public debate, but questioned her intentions, and countered her claim that the Opposition was in favour of an 'inflexible Constitution'. 'It is the democratic content of the Constitution which the present Establishment regards as a roadblock to its ambitions,' the Jana Sangh leader wrote. Read Advani's full entry here. 💡 Express Explained Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk launched its blockbuster weight-loss injectable semaglutide earlier this week, months after its competitor Eli Lilly's tirzepatide hit Indian markets — and nearly four years after these GLP-1 therapies took the United States by storm. These drugs are highly effective for weight loss, helping people lose 15% to 20% of their body weight. So, how do these 'miracle drugs' work? How were they discovered? And what are the other benefits of these drugs? We explain. ✍️ Express Opinion In our Opinion section today, Kanti Bajpai delves into the three major issues arising from American strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities, and the possibility of a nuclear deal. He writes: 'The conditions are ripe, therefore, for a new nuclear deal. That said, the ceasefire must hold, and Iran must have an authority figure that can deliver a deal. Neither is certain. In addition, the US may have to sweeten the deal economically by lifting sanctions. This will depend on Trump overcoming domestic and Israeli opposition. In short, there is a road ahead, but it is a rocky one.' 🍿 Movie Review Wondering what to watch this weekend? We've got you covered! Kajor-starrer 'Maa' has hit your nearby screens this Friday, presenting the story of a mother who would go to any lengths to save her family. Shubhra Gupta, in her review, writes: 'Mixing mythology and technology, 'Maa' presents Kajol as a contemporary woman fighting with all her might to keep at bay the dark forces targeting her young daughter… This is a film which is clearly well-intentioned. Smashing patriarchy is a task that films need to keep taking up, and Kajol has the heft to get the job done.' That's all for today. Have a lovely weekend! Until next time, Ariba
