In fact, the company is focused on scaling up this offer tremendously and expanding its reach to make it accessible to up to 50 million users by later this year.

This launch is aimed at bringing the previously under-served customers into the term life insurance net by making the products more accessible and affordable to Indians across various socio-economic strata,” said Vishal Gupta, CEO at PhonePe Insurance Broking Services.
“By partnering with industry leaders and collaborating with them deeply we are able to simplify user experience and deliver tailor-made offerings that are industry-leading and solving for specific cohorts in an inclusive manner. Our mission is to drive insurance adoption in the country by making the insurance buying process simple, easy, and affordable for all,” Gupta added.
PhonePe, based on the underwriting principles of its insurance partners, identifies a user base for whom the pre-approved term insurance process can be enabled. The company has worked on these indicators collaboratively with the insurance providers to empower users while complying with underwriting principles set by the regulators.
