PolicyBazaar is India’s leading aggregator and marketplace of insurance products. Established in 2008, the company initially compared the prices of insurance policies and provided insurance-related information but now it not only assists customers in buying insurance policies but also provides assistance for cancellation/renewal of policies and even claim settlements.

What is PolicyBazaar:

PolicyBazaar is the marketplace for all your insurance needs. It provides life insurance, health insurance, motor insurance, travel insurance, group insurance, etc. The company offers more than 250 insurance plans and around 50 insurance brands on its platform. The platform is designed such that the visitors can easily compare the insurance plans and buy plans as per personal insurance needs.


The company is constantly adding new features and technology to make the customer experience smoother. The company introduced 'my account' feature some time back. Through PolicyBazaar 'My Account' feature, customers can easily download a policy, raise a ticket, ask for clarification, and upgrade policies. The company introduced a self-inspection video feature for the revival of lapsed motor insurance.

They also adopted Amazon Polly and developed an in-house AI chatbot - PBee to improve customer satisfaction.

In 2015, their app was launched. The app is available for both Android and iOS platforms. A customer can not only search, compare and buy insurance through the PolicyBazaar app, but also take advantage of interesting features like hospital locator, garage locator, insurance premium calculator, instant renewal of insurance policies, claim assistance, and more.


PolicyBazaar - The Idea and Starting Up:

The idea for starting up has its seed sowed in an incident of insurance mis-selling that Yashish Dahiya once faced.

"I was going through some of the financials with my father and few things looked dubious. On deeper inspection, my father had been cheated of a few lakh rupees by insurance agents. The transactions looked clean on the face of it but the reality emerged when I looked in closely. This got me thinking about how people are getting duped hence came into being PolicyBazaar. We started PolicyBazaar with just 14 hardworking individuals", said Yashish Dahiya, founder and owner.

PolicyBazaar - Revenue Model:

PolicyBazaar makes money by leads generation for the insurers, advertising, and policy sales. Till 2011, 85% of it's revenue came from lead generation and advertising while the rest 15% came from policy sales. Now, 85% of the revenue comes from e-commerce or policy sales.

PolicyBazaar - Competitors:

BankBazaar, CoverFox, EasyPolicy, PolicyAdvisor, Acko and InsurancePandit are some major competitors of PolicyBazaar.

PolicyBazaar - Business Partners:

The startup has reputed companies from car insurance, health insurance, life insurance, corporate insurance, and the travel insurance sectors as its business partners.

IIT से IIM और फिर पहले प्रयास में IAS, प्रत्युष पांडे ने ऐसे तय किया निरंतर सफलताओं का सफर

                    BY   MY COLLEGE NOTIFIER केवल 24 साल की उम्र में नई दिल्ली के प्रत्युष पांडे ने इतना कुछ हासिल कर लिया है, जिसकी लोग केवल कल्पना ही करते रह जाते हैं. जहां ताउम्र लोग एक सफलता के लिए तरसते हैं वहीं प्रत्युष ने मात्र 24 साल की उम्र में अपने क्षेत्र के सबसे नामी संस्थानों में एडमिशन लेकर दिखा दिया कि कुछ लोग केवल सफल होने के लिए ही बने होते हैं. हालांकि इसके पीछे उनकी सालों की तपस्या और कड़ी मेहनत होती है फिर भी साल दर साल यूं सफल होते जाना आसान नहीं होता. प्रत्युष ने कानपुर आईआईटी से ग्रेजुएशन किया है और आईआईएम अहमदाबाद से एमबीए. दोनों ही संस्थान अपने क्षेत्र में सर्वोत्तम माने जाते हैं. इसके बाद जिस साल प्रत्युष का पीजी पूरा हुआ उसी साल उन्होंने अपने पहले प्रयास में ही यूपीएससी परीक्षा भी पास की. यही नहीं वे 21वीं रैंक के साथ टॉपर्स की सूची में भी शामिल हुए. मार्च 2019 में उन्होंने एमबीए किया और इसी साल बने आईएएस. कड़ी मेहनत और धैर्य के अलावा आइये जानते हैं क्या रहे प्रत्युष के सक्सेज टूल. सही रास्ता चुनने के लिए खर्च करें कुछ समय  दिल्ली नॉलेज ट्रैक को दिए इंटरव्यू
