India's Insurance Sector Adapts with Technology and Policy to Expand Coverage

India's insurance sector is evolving amid low penetration and rising customer expectations, especially beyond urban areas. Industry leaders and startups are leveraging technology, AI, and innovative products to improve accessibility, retention, and personalized coverage. Regulatory initiatives like IRDAI's 'Insurance for All by 2047' and digital infrastructure aim to expand reach. Challenges include pricing accuracy due to limited health data and addressing underserved populations such as gig workers, with efforts focused on enhancing trust, transparency, and financial security.
