Uncommon Allies: Orchestrating a New Era of Insurance

By Akhil Almeida

In the Ramayana, an ancient Sanskrit epic, a narrative unfolds where uncommon allies unite to form an indomitable alliance. Lord Rama and an eclectic assembly of allies, ranging from the devoted Hanuman to a legion of valiant Vanaras, orchestrated a monumental expedition to overcome seemingly impossible odds. The confluence of diverse strengths, backgrounds, and unyielding camaraderie enables their success. This timeless narrative mirrors a profound tenet of groundbreaking innovation in the modern business landscape.

Business Disruptors – Lessons from the Past

 

In the realms of disruptive business innovations, the chronicles often feature uncommon allies and unexpected collaborators as the protagonists. Take Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, whose divergent backgrounds in software engineering and marketing pioneered the digital streaming narrative with Netflix. They navigated beyond the established roadmap of the entertainment industry, morphing the improbable into the inevitable reshaping how we consume content today.

 

Similarly, Jeff Bezos and his founding team leveraged computer science with business acumen to re- envision the global retail landscape with Amazon. Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, leveraged their design acumen, to disrupt the hotel and hospitality sector with Airbnb. Uber, started by Travis Kalanick and Gar rett Camp, offers a similar tale, with the protagonists altering the traditional taxi industry with a ride- hailing app. These examples are not limited to ‘new-age tech’ companies alone. Let’s not forget the Wright Brothers, bicycle mechanics who soared to invent the airplane, or Walt Disney's vision that breathed life into animation.

 

The trajectory of innovation is often steered by those who dare to venture beyond known horizons, armed with diverse perspectives and a shared purpose. At Bandhan Life, we aren't just inspired by these disruptors; we embody their spirit. We are nurturing a culture where diversity of thought isn’t just welcomed; it’s celebrated as the catalyst for reimagining the insurance paradigm.

 

Our arena is a confluence of insurance experts, finance aficionados, technology enthusiasts, and data analytics maestros. This eclectic blend enables us to architect a customer-centric edifice—spearheaded by talents from various domains.

The infusion of Artificial Intelligence in underwriting, and the innovation of a 15-second selfie video assessment, are not mere attempts at modernization; they are strides towards a more empathetic and intuitive insurance ecosystem. It’s about simplifying the complex and making the life insurance journey quicker and more meaningful. These innovations are already showing tangible results. Here are a few examples—

 

Our products stand out for their simplicity. Our state-of-the-art tech stack leverages Artificial Intelligence  for underwriting – a sophisticated process that determines insurance eligibility based on parameters like financial stability and health status. We assess an applicant’s financial stance swiftly through the account aggregator network or the PAN details.

 

Innovations like our 15-second selfie video, which uses AI and computer vision to gauge an applicant’s resting heartbeat, breathing rate, stress levels, and biological age, are trailblazers in the industry. The once-tedious life insurance form with extensive paperwork has been transformed into intuitive, customer-friendly interfaces that ensure a smooth process.

 

What once was a days-long life insurance buying journey is now a matter of minutes, positioning us leagues ahead in the market.
