Celebrating Transformation: How Holi Inspires the Future of Life Insurance

Believe it or not, there’s a connection between Holi, the festival of colours, and the world of digital innovation. It might seem like a stretch but stick with us for a moment.

The story of Prahlad and Holika isn’t just a captivating tale from our rich mythology; it’s a powerful metaphor for disruption, rejuvenation, and the triumph of innovation. Prahlad, the ultimate disruptor, challenges the status quo of his god-hating father, Hiranyakashipa (the demon king of Asuras), and Aunt Holika.

In a plot to eliminate Prahlad, Holika, the demoness believed to be immune to fire, enters a pyre with Prahlad in her lap. Holika is consumed by the flames she thought he would spare her, while Prahlad emerges unscathed and rejuvenated, transformed the god-demon dynamics and ushered a new era where everyone lived in peace.  

This spirit of transformation is precisely what successful businesses, are tapping into to serve you better.

Transformations Unlimited

Remember when the World Wide Web came into our lives? Internet users globally grew from 16 million in 1995 to over 5.5 billion in 2022. Suddenly, the whole world was at our fingertips, connecting us in ways we never imagined.

Add to it the launch of the iPhone in 2007 and the subsequent proliferation of smartphones, which has fundamentally changed how people communicate, access information, and use services. These devices have disrupted numerous industries, including telecommunications, media, and retail, by serving as a platform for countless apps and services that have reshaped daily life. In India alone, the smartphone market is predicted to triple to $90 billion by 2032.

Fast forward to 2016, the launch of UPI in India, and bam! UPI transactions have grown by 147% in the past five years, with 8,375 crore transactions in the FY 2022-23.

These aren’t just technological advancements; they’re revolutions that have transformed our daily lives, making everything more accessible and streamlined.
