Founded in 2008 by Yashish Dahiya, Alok Bansal and Avaneesh Nirjar, PolicyBazaar’s mission was to bring transparency to the insurance industry by simplifying plan information, reducing mis-selling, and preventing policy lapses.

It began as a price-comparison website, and an information portal for learning about insurance and insurance programs. The website subsequently expanded to become a marketplace for insurance policies. In 2015, Policybazaar launched its app for Android and iOS users.
Today, PolicyBazaar is India’s largest and most trusted online insurance platform, having helped over 16 million individuals find the best insurance plans and selling over 42 million policies since inception. With a vision to revolutionize insurance, PolicyBazaar continues to innovate, striving to build a robust health and financial safety net for households across India.
