The company claims to boast a significant market share in embedded insurance, partnering with over 50 players such as Oyo, redBus, Zomato, HDB Financial Services, and Urban Company. Through its Group Health Insurance, it has insured more than 8 lakh lives, reaching over 78 million unique customers in just nine years.
