Commenting on the development, Dhyanesh Bhatt, CEO of GramCover said, “GramCover has shown significant traction in the last few years moving from 1000 customers in FY 18 to 1.7 mn customers in FY 21. While crop insurance is our largest product as of now, we have seen massive growth in our non-crop portfolio as well including motor, health, and livestock in FY21. Going forward we expect an exponential increase in our non-crop portfolio which shall be the key growth driver for us”
“Access and convenience are the key drivers for rural customers. We are leveraging technology to create seamless ecosystems that support both legs of the insurance process – onboarding and claims settlement. We will truly strengthen our tech expertise to fulfill my vision of providing a comprehensive cover to rural India,” Jatin Singh, Managing Director of GramCover further added.
