Riskcovry is a Bengaluru-based insurance technology platform which defines itself as an ‘Insurance in a box’ model that offers a one-stop platform to any business for their digital insurance need.

Riskcovry being an insurance technology start-up enables companies and businesses from any XYZ industry to offer digital insurance-based products and other financial technology services to their end customers. This serves as the USP of the start-up because it saves a significant amount of precious time from the companies who would have to make major efforts to build a team, technology and multiple processes involved with insurance-based financial technology products. This arrangement ultimately provides a seamless experience to the end customers and provides an effortless experience to the companies that have wished to add insurance-based products on their platform completely hassle-free.
When asked about the latest funding, the company mentions utilising these freshly infused funds to invest in major markets of 2021 that include technology, partnerships, data sciences, product and growth, according to a report by BW Disrupt.

The company says that they have partnered with more than 10 industries to distribute insurance products digitally from the traditional well-trusted models to the new-age digital businesses. In addition to this, Riskcovry claims to close this current fiscal year with over 200k policies which will be sold by the company’s more than 50 enterprise customers that are powered by the start-up’s technology.
