Insurtech activity in India has increased rapidly since 2017. At one hand we are seeing affinity channels from several sectors launching contextual insurance as offerings on their platform to increase customer stickiness and ancillary revenues, and on the other hand pandemic has further prompted a significant escalation and prioritization of technology initiatives, leading to urgency and acceleration in the deployment of digital solutions by insurers in India and across the world. Accordingly, insurers have a key role in co-creating and adapting their offerings to the new digital environment. In collaboration with IIA and insurtech start-ups, and by leveraging digital platforms, insurance organizations are optimizing their operational workflows and applying intelligent technologies to create new levels of efficiency and service excellence across the entire insurance value chain.
