WE STRIVE THROUGH WITH A CONSISTENT & SEAMLESS SERVICE

From the first day of lockdown we immediately geared ourselves by moving in to decentralized and cloud-based systems so that all our employees could deliver the same level of service from the safety of their homes.  We have made steady progress and are 100% ready:

  • Our Call Centre continues to service our customers within 3 rings 24 x 7 on 0112 428 428.
  • Our claims experts are on call to manage claims efficiently and with empathy.  More than a quarter of the motor claims intimated daily were settled within the day via our virtual claims management capabilities. Many of these claims were settled within 1 hour of intimation. We settled more than 1400 motor claims amounting to over 38.9 Million Rupees. At the same, we helped pay more than 3316 Medical Claims and OPD Claims amounting to 53.5 Million Rupees. In addition, more than 80 non-motor non-medical claims were intimated.
  • Our Sales and Distribution teams continue to close out new and renewal business as well as produce and find new ways of reaching out to customers.
