Selling corporate insurance services, BimaKavach primarily targets small and medium-sized businesses. 18 insurance products make up its current portfolio, which is broadly divided into liability, resource, engineering, underwater, and group health insurance.

“By securing this direct business insurance license, we aim to collect Rs 100 crore in GWP by FY 2024-25 from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as it will focus on reducing difficulties for first-time buyers and providing tech solutions for larger enterprises to help manage insurance policies better,” Tejas Jain, the founder of BimaKavach, said in the statement.
This development occurs at a time when Indian insurtech startups are luring high-profile investors to their secure table, reiterating investor confidence in the sector’s robust growth. For instance, the insurtech business InsuranceDekho, centered in Delhi NCR, recently raised $60 million in a funding round that was co-led by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and included, among others, BNP Paribas Cardif.
