FIRST TIME RIGHT - THE NEW MANTRA IN INSURANCE

Ganessan Soundiram, Chief Technology Officer, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited is insuring his business not just against the competition but also the never-before spectrum of opportunities when it comes to betting on technology. Let's see what areas are actualising already in the form of new customer experiences

How is technology changing the insurance sector- from on-boarding to underwriting to management to claims processing? Is it gaining the desired levels of accuracy, simplicity and scalability?

Over the last decade, the insurance industry has gone through a significant transformation due to the digitalisation efforts undertaken by the insurers. Onboarding and servicing which were earlier characterised as iterative, with multiple handoffs and comprising of a longer TAT (Turn Around Time) have now transformed into fully digital processes. Digitalisation has brought in empowerment, transparency, ease of use and enhanced experience to both customers and employees.

Can you give any examples or plans about how has technology brought a significant change in your business?

Specially when security is baked in and bold- and ready for any camouflage? And what happens when Quantum and third-party supply chains make their way into industrial forests? We may not have all the answers but how about a purple-team approach to begin with.

AI is not Valyrian. It's the new English.

While it may still be too early for people to say 'Avy jorrāelan' to a technology that is affecting their jobs in more ways than one, it is better if we face our fears with clarity, caution and confidence. How does that advice play out in a function that, itself, decides who works and where?
