As India approaches 2047, the vision of ‘Insurance for All’ remains distant. In this landscape, reinsurers emerge as key enablers. By providing risk capacity, innovative solutions, and simplifying customer journeys, they empower the primary insurers to expand coverage, especially in underserved regions. We spoke to Pacific Life Re’s Mr Gautham Suresh and UnderWriteMe’s Mr Pratap Chawla to find out how reinsurers can help bridge the gap.
Big data analytics has long been a tool for (re)insurers in their quest for better performance, efficiency, and effectiveness. Asia Insurance Review’s deputy editor Ahmad Zaki spoke with Pacific Life Re’s managing director, protection, Asia, Vasan Errakiah on how big data can be leveraged to improve underwriting and risk assessment, how unstructured data can be utilised and how Pacific Life Re is staying ahead of the curve.
