5 FinTechs simplifying business insurance for Indian startups and SMEs

By Gloria Mathias

In the rapidly evolving FinTech landscape, Insurance and InsurTech play a crucial role, significantly shaping the Indian economy. Their influence is transforming traditional insurance models, offering new ways to protect lives and assets. This impact is particularly noteworthy for SMEs, a vital component of the Indian economy and workforce. Recognising their significance, there’s an urgent need to focus on sustaining and incentivizing the productivity of SMEs in the insurance sector.

Providing health benefits and insurance for employees is paramount for several reasons. In a competitive job market, prospective employees often prioritise companies that offer comprehensive health coverage. Moreover, employee health and well-being directly impact productivity and job satisfaction. By offering health benefits, employers demonstrate a commitment to the welfare of their workforce, fostering a positive work environment.

Access to healthcare coverage also contributes to the overall morale and loyalty of employees, as it alleviates financial concerns related to medical expenses. From a broader perspective, a healthy and insured workforce reduces absenteeism, enhances workplace productivity, and ultimately contributes to the long-term success and sustainability of the business.
