PM Insurtech
(India Edition)
Insurtech users buy protection, not software, which is why claims experience becomes the make-or-break moment — one bad claim kills 100 referrals — while underwriting data precision often outweighs interface polish and IRDAI regulatory constraints shape every flow; persistency, the renewal rate, drives roughly 80% of LTV.
