Rationale To Invest In Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd IPO

Diverse product suite for customers, bolstered by a track record for product innovation

Niva Bupa Health Insurance stands out with a comprehensive suite of innovative health insurance products designed to meet the diverse needs of customers at every stage of their lives. The company identifies customer groups based on various parameters such as age, income and health status. The company strive to achieve the best customer-product fit based on these customer groups and the sales process. Recently, the company launched the Aspire product to target Millennials (26 to 40 years old) and Generation Z (18 to 25 years old), which offers features tailored to target the distinctive needs of these demographics, such as Lock the Clock where the age of a person for premium calculation purposes is locked/fixed at the entry age until the time a claim is paid. The company has demonstrated a track record of innovation, launching products with industry-first features. Through the company’s product innovation capabilities, they have developed products with selling propositions that have assisted in scaling the business. The company has developed a customer LTV-based approach towards new product creation, which leverages data analytics to determine LTV based on customer profile, claims experience, loss ratio assumptions, inflation, acquisition cost and risk perception. This has enabled us to innovate with new products targeted at specific customer groups, map customer groups via distribution channels, and achieve favourable underwriting outcomes.

Multi-channel diversified Pan-India distribution, with technology-led empowerment of distribution partners to aid financial performance

Niva Bupa Health Insurance has adopted a comprehensive distribution strategy that leverages multiple channels across India, supported by technology, to empower its distribution partners and enhance financial performance. The company’s distribution channels comprise (a) direct sales through employees, online sales through the website and ‘Niva Bupa’ mobile application, and (b) intermediated sales through distributors. The company’s LTV-led approach towards business selection and underwriting seeks to build a sustainable portfolio via the preferred product-channel-customer strategy by enabling them to strategically focus on products tailored to a particular customer and the appropriate channel to distribute such products. The company’s decision-making on sales incentives, rewards, recognitions and commissions is also driven by this approach, where target efforts towards higher-LTV customers focus sales strategy at the policy and channel levels more efficiently. According to the Redseer Report, they are the largest selling non-life insurer on India’s largest online insurance broker/web aggregator, based on insurance commission paid by insurers to the insurance broker/web aggregator. The company’s online direct sales channel and digital distributors, namely web aggregators and certain online brokers, are beneficial on account of better quality of disclosures driving optimal pricing and no third-party acquisition costs for the direct sales channel. Niva Bupa’s agency distribution channel is supported by a physical branch network of 210 physical branches, and the e-agency model is used for locations where agents undertake business without a physical branch presence. The company e-agency model enables remote onboarding and training of individual agents in a cost-efficient and agile manner, which may increase operating leverage and lower Expense Ratio and allow them to reach a wider footprint to target a broader group of customers.
