Qashio And YallaCompare Launch “Qashio Insurance”
The platform is a trailblazing Digital Health Solution for SMEs that aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Qashio, a fintech company that provides an expense management and corporate card platform, is launching “Qashio Insurance” in partnership with YallaCompare. The branded health insurance product is a cost-effective solution with a simplified and automated digital declaration process, which takes under a minute to complete.
Qashio Insurance is the only digital-first health insurance package for SMEs of all sizes, from freelancers to 25,000-employee corporations. The platform enables applications to be processed ten times faster than conventional methods, many of which still rely on paper and physical signatures.
In addition to improved efficiency, Qashio Insurance offers up to 25% more affordable rates compared to the rest of the market. The platform has three tiers of coverage, allowing businesses to find the right plan to suit their unique needs, as well as an installment payment option.
Armin Moradi, Co-founder and CEO of Qashio said, “Qashio is privileged to be able to support the growing SME sector with Qashio Insurance, further simplifying otherwise complicated and lengthy processes. Qashio’s mission is to empower SMEs with a streamlined, cost-effective way to manage their health insurance needs. The platform that has taken close to a year to develop is a testament to our dedication to innovation and our unwavering support for SMEs as well as Enterprises”.

G42’s Inception42 Wants AI To Show Its Work Before Investors Commit
Launched at SuperReturn Middle East, Alpha is pitched at sovereign wealth funds and private equity firms underwriting bigger deals on tighter timelines.
Inception42, G42’s agentic AI company, believes that institutional investors want AI they can check, not just AI that saves time. Its new tool, Alpha, launched at SuperReturn Middle East, is designed to draft investment memos in which every claim points back to its source.
Alpha is aimed at private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds and institutional allocators, which Inception42 says are underwriting larger, more complex positions under tighter timelines. Most AI tools, it argues, speed up individual tasks such as a memo draft or a comps table but leave the investment strategy scattered across files, inboxes and committee decks.
Teams upload Confidential Information Memoranda, diligence packs and portfolio data, which Alpha turns into insights grounded in that material. It checks how complete the diligence is, flagging gaps before they become late-stage surprises, then scores the deal against criteria the institution sets and drafts the memo.
Sourcing every claim is the core of Inception42’s Alpha pitch. Investment committees, the company says, have little time to challenge the evidence, and the audit trail is meant to give them more certainty. The company also promises institutions proof that their own strategy was applied consistently on every deal.

“Every investment committee wants the same thing: the full picture of a deal and the confidence to act on it,” says Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception42. “Alpha gives deal teams and committee members that picture, with every insight traceable to its source, so speed and rigor finally pull in the same direction”.
Alpha is available as SaaS, and investment data, Inception42 says, stays under the institution’s control at every step. Firms can tailor the tool with custom agents, and Alpha Skills will eventually add reusable, practitioner-designed workflows for tasks such as comparables analysis and credit assessment.
The company says Alpha is already proven in the region’s most significant financial institutions. If the tool works as described, committees get an investment memo they can interrogate rather than simply take on trust.
