Home  /  Why Insurable

Indian insurance is broken.
We know — we've been on both sides.

Only 30% of Indians have any life or health cover. The reasons are everywhere: pushy sales, opaque products, complicated forms, and zero service after you've signed up. Insurable.dev is the alternative — built ground-up, in candour.

i Problem one

Sales that push, not listen.

Most insurance in India is sold, not bought. Agents call you with whichever product earns them the highest commission this quarter — not what fits your life.

The reality
  • 9 of 10 agents leave within 3 yearsDriven by pressure to push products that don't fit. The system burns through the people meant to serve customers.
  • Mis-selling complaints are a top IRDAI category"Guaranteed returns" that aren't guaranteed. Health policies with exclusions buried four pages deep.
  • High-pressure tactics exploit fearEspecially around health insurance, where urgency manufactures consent.
How we're different

Every conversation on our platform is recorded and monitored in real-time. If an advisor uses a forbidden phrase or recommends a policy that doesn't fit your profile, our system blocks the sale at submission.

It's not a quarterly audit. It's not a retrospective review. It's a structural safeguard — mis-selling cannot complete on our rails.

EXAMPLE · BLOCKED AT SUBMISSION

→ ULIP recommendation rejected for client with 5-yr horizon. Suggested term + ELSS combination instead. Compliance log #C-4471.

ii Problem two

Once you sign, you're forgotten.

Industry lapse rates of 35–45% by year two aren't an accident. They happen because no one follows up.

The reality
  • ~₹35,000 Cr in lapsed premium annuallyPremium reminders are auto-emails to dead inboxes. The "advisor" who sold you the policy has long moved on.
  • Customers re-buy what they already haveBecause they've forgotten they had cover. Two policies, two premiums, half the protection.
  • Claims fight a call centre30-day forms, multiple rounds of back-and-forth, denied for technicalities the customer didn't know existed.
  • Spouses don't know what's coveredThe most common claim story: "We didn't know there was a policy."
How we're different

Your WhatsApp assistant is yours forever. Premium reminders 30 days early. Claim status updates pushed before you ask. Annual reviews that proactively flag gaps when life changes — new child, new home, new income.

A shared digital wallet so your spouse and children know what policies exist, what they cover, and how to claim. Service that doesn't end the day you pay.

iii Problem three

Confusing products, hidden fees.

ULIPs disguised as "investment". Term plans buried beneath endowment plans. Health insurance with waiting periods and exclusions you only discover when you need to claim.

The reality
  • The average Indian compares 1–2 optionsBefore buying a life policy that will run 20+ years.
  • ULIP charges can eat 30–40% of returnsIn the first three years alone. Always disclosed in fine print. Never explained.
  • Health pre-existing exclusions are opaqueBoilerplate language hides what's actually excluded. Discovery happens at claim time.
  • People buy "saving" plans when they need "protection"Endowment sold as "guaranteed return". Term, often cheaper and more useful, never mentioned.
How we're different

Side-by-side, jargon-free comparisons across multiple insurers. Plain-language explanations of what each policy actually does. We surface exclusions, waiting periods, and hidden costs.

When term cover is right for you, we'll recommend term — even though it pays us less than ULIP. We'd rather have your trust for life than mis-sell once.

iv What we promise

Three things we do differently.

Built ground-up for what Indian insurance needs in 2026. Each promise is a structural commitment, not a marketing claim.

  • Honest advice, every time. Every recommendation is checked against IRDAI suitability rules before it's made. Every conversation is recorded and AI-monitored in real time. If a policy doesn't fit your profile, the sale is blocked at submission. Mis-selling is structurally impossible on our platform — not an audit, a safeguard.
  • Human + AI, working as one. A licensed POSP advisor handles your application — the only person in India legally allowed to advise on life and health cover. Six AI assistants take everything else off their plate: qualification, comparison, paperwork, compliance, post-sale service. The result is empathy and speed in one team.
  • We don't disappear after the sale. Your WhatsApp assistant stays with you for as long as you hold the policy. Premium reminders 30 days early. Claim status before you ask. Annual reviews when life changes. A shared family wallet so your spouse knows what's covered. India loses 35–45% of customers in year two — we don't.
v Why now

Three things converged in India that make this possible.

A better insurance broker has been waiting for these three preconditions. They are now true.

i
Bima Sugam — IRDAI

India's digital insurance marketplace standardises insurer APIs. For the first time, a broker can pull live policy data and quotes from every major insurer through one connection — making real comparisons possible.

ii
DPDP Act, 2023

The new data protection law gives Indians real consent rights. We're being built from day one to respect that — no legacy databases of unconsented contacts, no purchased lead lists, no "we already had your number from somewhere".

iii
Voice AI in Indian languages

Advanced voice AI for Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi means customers can engage in their language, not just English.
