This sector has an opportunity worth USD100+ billion. Even though insurance penetration in India is below 4% due to lack of awareness and more paperwork with less transparency, the internet penetration in India is at 45% and tech-based companies like Insurance Samadhan are here to change the mindset and make lives easier for policy holders across the country.

As we have mastered the most complex part of the entire insurance life cycle, we now plan to serve a larger universe.

With our current round of funding, we will be able to build our brand and further enhance our technology.”
