Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] September 11 (ANI/NewsVoir): Online insurance broker Coverfox, today announced the breakthrough success of its seller platform, 'Coverdrive' that is digitising and easing the process of insurance purchase for the end-users as well as agents across India.
The platform has issued close to a million policies across the country and witnessed 300 per cent growth for FY 2018-19.
'Coverdrive' was launched in September 2017, primarily as a digital assistant for the new insurance agents in the country. It helps them gain knowledge about the products and technology that enables them to further empower the end consumer in a better way.

About one-third of Coverfox's total revenue has come from PoS (Point of Sale) agents between January 2017 and June 2019.
In India, only 2 per cent insurance sales are made online, leaving ample scope for growth in this market. Thus, digital is no longer a choice, but a necessity for the insurance industry to upgrade.

Through Coverdrive, we have been successful in educating, skilling and digitally enabling these sellers as well as users. The platform has helped us generate new employment opportunities for the youth and enable micro-entrepreneurship for the no-income audience. The platform has also furthered our goal of financially empowering women in India across metros, tier I and tier II cities", said Premanshu Singh, CEO of Coverfox.
The customer base vis-a-vis the app broadly comprises of insurance agents, college students, and housewives who are looking out for new business opportunities to work either part-time/ full-time.
