Investment Opportunities in Indian Insurance industry to Usher Next Phase of Growth

Bengaluru, September 29: The Indian Venture & Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), the apex industry body for alternative assets, organized a sector exclusive forum to discuss – ‘Investing into India’s burgeoning Insurance Ecosystem’, in Bengaluru today. The forum saw many leading Private Equity, Venture Capital funds and Family Offices participate along with the Chairman of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) – Mr. Debasish Panda, gracing the occasion to highlight the opportunities in the insurance space in a fast-growing digital economy in India.

“The rapid economic expansion, ably supported by digital infrastructure and innovation will play a defining role to make the insurance market in India as one of the largest across the globe. The market size is estimated to reach USD 200Bn by FY ’27 at the present growth rate however we have aspirational plans, and we expect the market to grow by leaps and bounds, and the contribution of venture capital, private equity and family offices in nation building is a step in the right direction. With the support of the ecosystem, the burgeoning Indian insurance sector gains additional capital source as well as help foster new products and solutions to overcome present challenges of affordability and accessibility,” said Debasish Panda, Chairman, IRDAI.

Insurance penetration in India experienced an increase in momentum in recent years moving to 4.2% in FY21 from 3.76% in FY20. Multiple reasons are cited for this development, specifically, ease of doing business, deployment of digital solutions by insurers, change in the attitude of consumers and their realization of financial security, evolution of products, including new regulatory framework regarding product approval and distribution by IRDAI.

“With India today ranking 10th in the global life insurance market and ahead of China (at 2.4%) and UK (at 3%)#, we are suitably positioned to cater to the rising demand of younger and digital-first consumers emerging from smaller and newer geographies and across life and non-life” said Karthik Reddy, Chairperson, IVCA & Co-founder and Managing Partner, Blume Ventures.

He further commented, “Customer experience, cost of distribution and product innovation are the top three areas of disruption for insurance companies. Thereby, the sector transformation has resulted in the introduction of innovative and tech-first products which solve issues of accessibility, cost-efficiency while elevating customer experience, prompting an unprecedented scale of behavioral change.”

The event was powered by Sequoia Capital and Khaitan & Co. and saw participation from the following – Karthik Reddy (Chairperson, IVCA, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Blume Ventures), Rahul Garg (Partner, Premji Invest), Ganesh KC (President, Pratithi Investment), Divaspati Singh (Partner, Khaitan & Co.), Niren Patel (Partner, Khaitan & Co.), Shweta Rajpal Kohli (Chief Public Policy Officer, Sequoia Capital India & SE Asia), Ishaan Mittal (Managing Director, Sequoia Capital), Sandeep Kagzi (Principal, Warburg Pincus), Treasa Mathew (Director, Investments, Omidyar Network India), Sanjay Swamy (Managing Partner, Prime Ventures), Nithya Eswaran (Managing Director, Multiples Alternate Asset Management Pvt. Ltd.), Divya Sehgal (Partner, True North), and Rajat Tandon (President, IVCA).

Cogniteam’s Nimbus Operation System Gives Street Smarts to Rover Robotics’ Platforms

Cogniteam, a robotics company operating for over a decade and creators of the Nimbus low-code robot development operating system, has announced a partnership with Rover Robotics, developers of robot hardware platforms. Together, they will help deploy chassis and platforms to companies that are looking to develop in-house Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) without the time-consuming and burdensome task of re-inventing existing technologies.

Building an AMR can take years, requiring hardware teams to first develop a platform, only then allowing software teams to begin programming the machine for its intended in-field purpose. Rover Robotics is addressing this need by providing various platforms that companies can use to add hardware, skipping over major development hurdles. “By adding Nimbus to these platforms, Rover Robotics is remaining true to their mission of building off of proven in-field experience to reduce development time and boost quality,” said Dr. Yehuda Elmaliah, Co-Founder & CEO of Cogniteam. “Nimbus empowers companies to take these pre-developed robotics platforms and quickly drag n’ drop proven software capabilities onto them. These even include the building blocks for autonomous operations, including localization, mapping, navigation, spatial recognition, and others.”

With rapid technological developments, the competition to meet market demands with new robots is growing. Cogniteam developed Nimbus to provide the software needed to support today’s robotics revolution from development through cloud-connected deployment in one space. Cloud connectivity means robots can obtain new features and benefits from over-the-air updates, without ever needing to be taken out of service in a repair center. This boosts uptime while keeping a developed machine relevant for longer, increasing the return on investments companies recognize from their deployed machines.

Rover Robotics’ chassis and platforms are filling the needs of today and remaining adaptable towards the future. “The machines developed to meet today’s specifications won’t have all the capabilities required to meet tomorrow’s demands,” said Nick Velander, CEO of Rover Robotics. “Pre-integrating our robotics platforms with Nimbus allows teams to develop, test, and reach market demands at a record pace. Cloud connectivity also allows the machines to evolve over time, preparing them to meet the unforeseen demands of the future.”

Looking forward, companies can rely on these foundational hardware and software pieces to rapidly develop or retool existing robots with Nimbus capabilities. Companies can also choose to place their proprietary or third-party components on the platform to develop and deploy an AMR for a wide or targeted sector.

Ultrahuman makes the platform more accessible by coming out of private beta

September, Bengaluru, India:

Ultrahuman M1 is a metabolic health platform that provides intelligent nudges based on glucose biomarkers. This helps people optimize their exercise, sleep, and nutrition based on deep insights from the platform. The M1 tracks the wearer’s metabolism as they go about their day. It triggers timely nudges to the user, such as alerts to a high blood glucose event and suggestions to take a walk for optimising their glucose levels.

Ultrahuman M1’s private beta program was launched in July 2021. The company launched the product with a waitlist that has accumulated over 150,000 users in the past year. Ultrahuman Cyborgs, as the users are referred to, have been an integral part of the journey. They have worked with Ultrahuman to improve the product and increase the accuracy of the platform, leading to a growing community of biohackers, athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

There has been extensive validation of the platform through numerous success stories of users achieving their weight loss goals, improving athletic performance, and in some cases, even reversing diabetes. While the platform isn’t built for the cohort of users that fall under diabetics yet, Ultrahuman has brought in world-renowned medical professionals to make the platform more scientific and has also kickstarted clinical trials. The health-tech firm is seeking to validate positive behavior change arising from its metabolic score, a metric on the app to showcase your glucose stability throughout the day and as a marker of your metabolic health.

Mohit Kumar, Founder, and CEO, of Ultrahuman, said “We’ve seen the platform evolve leaps and bounds over the last 1 year with the help of early users, athletes, sports scientists and doctors. We’ve been able to improve the actionability of the insights generated and deliver results for people just within 90-120 days of usage of the platform across a variety of use cases ranging from weight loss to athletic performance and longevity. “

Over the last year, Ultrahuman has conducted athlete performance case studies with world-renowned athletes that include HS Prannoy – World Badminton Champion, Shreyas Iyer – Indian Cricket Team player, and Saurav Ghosal – Ranked #1 in Indian Men’s Squash, among others. The athletes have seen improvement in their training, recovery, and performance during competitions.

Speaking on coming out of private beta, Vatsal Singhal, co-founder, and CTO, of Ultrahuman added “Over the last year, we have spoken to multiple users and taken their suggestions on new features and improvements. We have solidified the platform’s accuracy and introduced key indicators and nudges in modifying negative food behavior and incentivizing positive behavior. A big shout-out goes to our community, the Cyborg Army, that has collaborated with us to make the platform robust.”
