Acko Expands Garage Network to Lower Claim Costs and Enhance Customer Service
Digital insurer Acko is expanding its garage network, surpassing 10 centers to reduce claim costs by 20-30% and lower customers' out-of-pocket expenses. The company, led by CEO Varun Dua, aims to control the entire insurance process, from purchase to repair, through a franchise model across cities including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi-NCR, and Ahmedabad. This approach addresses conflicts of interest in traditional dealer-based insurance and may enable premium reductions. Acko has also appointed lead managers for its planned IPO valued at $2.5 billion.
