Insurtech Stocks Surge: Is Your Policy Wallet-Smart?
Insurance tech companies like Turtlemint are seeing big stock gains as more Indians buy policies online. This means cheaper, faster, and more transparent insurance is coming — but you still need to know what to look for before clicking 'buy'.
Indians spend more on chai annually than on term life insurance — and insurtech is trying to fix that.
Turtlemint's stock jump signals your insurance buying habits are shifting fast
Key Takeaways
Compare your current health or term plan on at least 2 IRDAI-regulated aggregator platforms to check if you are overpaying on premium for the same cover.
Check the claim settlement ratio of your insurer — any ratio below 95% should make you reconsider at renewal time; IRDAI publishes this data annually.
Review your policy document's exclusions section before your next renewal — digital platforms make buying easy but most buyers never read what is NOT covered.
