“We exist because buying insurance is currently confusing and painful. It should be easy to understand what is covered in your policy. It should be easy to compare features and pick the right policy. And it should be really easy to buy a policy online. We are here to make it happen. We shy away from spam, false promises, pushy sales practices. Instead, we invest in Simplified design, kick-ass technology, and a helpful advisory team. We make buying from Coverfox simpler, faster, and the smartest way to get insured.”
The current list of investors reportedly includes SAIF Partners, Accel India, and Catamaran Ventures, the family office of Infosys co-founder, NR Narayana Murthy. Dua previously invested in Indian fintech startup, Capzest, during its seed funding round.
