NXT10 Summit: Key Sessions

Boasting a complete speaker turnout, attendance of over 400 delegates, and the presentation of 8 highly engaging sessions, the Zopper NXT10 InsurTech Summit 2023 presented a multitude of informative and insightful discussions. These sessions navigated the insurance landscape with valuable inputs from various stakeholders. The participants, eager to collaborate with industry leaders, engaged in brainstorming sessions to reflect on and discover future possibilities in the InsurTech space.

Leaders’ View: Insuring India Phygitally: From Vision to Action

The Phygital Model has surfaced as a strategic and efficient approach to augment insurance penetration in India. During the discussion, industry leaders deliberated on the challenges presented by conventional insurance models. They explored how the phygital model, harnessing both technology and physical infrastructure, can extend last-mile connectivity to every corner of India to make insurance accessible to everyone.

Fireside Chat: From Push to Pull | Adding Speed to Life

Two decades ago, private players were allowed to enter the insurance industry but even after that, no major change was noted in insurance penetration. In this Fireside Chat between Amol Dethe, Editor, ETBFSI, and Satishwar Balakrishnan, MD & CEO, Aegon Life Insurance, at the Zopper NXT10 InsurTech Summit 2023, the Aegon Life Chief responded to important questions such as “What is needed for life insurers to move from push to pull product?”

Unleashing The Power of Collaboration: Insurance, InsurTech and Banks

In today’s collaborative era, Bancassurance is popular in India due to its heightened insurance awareness and convenience. This approach involves financial institutions and insurers collaborating to expand insurance access, using banks’ established customer base for distribution. The panellists emphasised that the convergence of banking and insurance services creates a seamless, customer-centric model, fostering the growth and accessibility of insurance in the Indian market.

Inclusive Bharat: Lending Institutions Establishing Last Mile Insurance Connect

India’s financial landscape is enriched by an expansive network comprising approximately 8,000 Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). Technology integration within these institutions presents a transformative opportunity to extend the reach of insurance products to remote and underserved regions. By harnessing the power of technology, NBFCs can overcome geographical constraints and bridge the insurance gap in areas that traditionally face challenges in accessing financial services. Panellists expressed confidence that as NBFCs leverage technology to unlock their full potential, they would become instrumental in creating a more inclusive and accessible insurance landscape across the diverse terrain of India.
