95K New Agents, 6 Lakh Villages, and a Mission Beyond Business: InsuranceDekho’s Expansion Redefined

InsuranceDekho is Powering a Financial Awakening in India’s Hinterlands, Expands Agent Network by 92%, Now Reaches 99% of India’s Pin Codes

India’s insurance landscape is undergoing a quiet but powerful transformation. Leading the charge is InsuranceDekho, one of the fastest-growing insurtech platforms in the country. In the past year, the company has expanded its agent network by 92%, adding 95,000 new agents and bringing the total count to 220,000 as of December 2024. This rapid growth has allowed the company to establish a presence in 99% of India’s pin codes, ensuring that insurance services reach even the most remote corners of the country.
Beyond Urban Markets: InsuranceDekho’s Deep Rural Penetration
The expansion is particularly significant in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, which now account for 86% of the company’s agent base. InsuranceDekho has successfully entered small towns such as Krishnanagar in West Bengal, Zunheboto in Nagaland, and Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh. Even in some of India’s most remote areas, such as Lahaul-Spiti in Himachal Pradesh and Serchhip in Mizoram, the company has enabled access to insurance products that were previously unavailable to many communities.
Speaking about this expansion, Pankaj Goenka, Vice President and Head of B2B2C at InsuranceDekho, emphasized the company’s mission of bridging the insurance gap.
Our goal is not just to expand numbers but to create a meaningful impact. By reaching 99% of India’s pin codes, we are bringing financial protection to underserved communities. This growth signifies our dedication to making insurance accessible at the last mile and empowering individuals with reliable solutions.

Empowering Livelihoods While Expanding Insurance Accessibility
InsuranceDekho’s growth is not only about expanding its customer base. The company is creating income opportunities for thousands of people by onboarding new agents in towns and villages where stable employment can be scarce. With an ambitious goal of covering 6 lakh villages, the initiative is set to drive job creation, helping individuals establish their own insurance advisory businesses.
A Tech-Driven Insurance Marketplace with 720+ Plans
InsuranceDekho offers a seamless digital-first experience, allowing agents to sell policies quickly and efficiently. The platform provides access to over 720 insurance plans from 49 insurance providers, covering health, motor, life, and business insurance. This wide range of options ensures that customers can choose policies tailored to their specific needs, whether they live in bustling metros or remote villages.

Financial Growth and Market Leadership
The company’s expansion strategy is directly contributing to its financial growth. As of March 2024, InsuranceDekho’s annual premium run rate reached ₹3,300 crore, nearly doubling from the previous year. With more agents onboard and deeper market penetration, the company is positioned to further accelerate its growth.

A Future Focused on Inclusion and Expansion
InsuranceDekho’s vision extends beyond business metrics. The company is working toward a future where every Indian, regardless of location, has access to affordable insurance coverage. The expansion into rural and semi-urban markets aligns with the Indian government’s broader financial inclusion initiatives, reinforcing InsuranceDekho’s role as a key enabler in the sector.
With its focus on accessibility, technology, and empowerment, InsuranceDekho is reshaping India’s insurance landscape, one village at a time.
