including recent additions like IDFC First Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, and Axis Bank.

In addition, business from our largest partner, HDFC Bank, has grown 35% year-on-year. We have also made some significant investments including agency and direct business. That will also help the premium growth on the proprietary side of the business.

FM and Irdai chairman recently urged banks to focus on core products rather than selling insurance. Will this impact your distribution strategy?
