The insurance sector has traditionally leaned towards a male-dominated demography. India as a nation is severely under-penetrated at a figure of a mere 4%, compared to the global average of 7%. Shockingly, this under-penetration is mirrored in gender diversity leaning towards male domination, thus underscoring the need for shift within the industry.
In the changing dynamics of our society there is a growing necessity for diverse abilities and perspectives. As we continue to embrace a more inclusive approach, women are increasingly contributing their unique talents to the insurance industry with a broader range of skills and experiences. Insurtech platforms reach the remotest locations, bridging gaps and bringing opportunities to women in every corner of the country. Tamil Nadu takes pride in leading the way with an impressive female-to-male ratio of 30:70 among insurance advisors connected with Turtlemint.
