About the Role


About Us

At Coverfox Group, we’re not just changing how insurance is bought - we’re redefining how protection is built, delivered, and experienced across every corner of India.

Our mission is bold yet deeply rooted: to make insurance simple, affordable, and truly accessible - not just in cities, but in the most remote parts of Bharat. With innovation at our core, we launched India’s first digital insurance brokerage, pioneered the PoSP (Point of Sales Person) model, and enabled some of India’s largest consumer brands to embed insurance effortlessly into their ecosystems. But this is just the beginning.

Our Mission: Protection for All, Everywhere

More than 100 crore Indians still remain uninsured or underinsured. We’re here to change that. Our ambition is to safeguard 100 million lives by 2030 - and we’re doing it by building for the entire micro-insurance value chain. This positions us at the heart of the customer experience, empowering us to create tailored, affordable solutions that reflect the real risks people live with.

For too long, insurance in India has been sold as a ‘product.’ At Coverfox, we see insurance as a solution - a tool for protection, stability, and progress. Especially in underserved markets beyond Tier I cities, our tech-enabled, solution-driven approach is reshaping how people access and adopt insurance that truly fits their lives.

Our Journey: Built on Innovation, Driven by Purpose

From breakthrough digital platforms to deep partnerships with MFIs, NBFCs, Agri-techs, and healthcare providers, our story is one of continuous innovation and real-world impact. Our business model’s ability to integrate seamlessly across the ecosystem - from manufacturers and reinsurers to distribution and end-customers - is a powerful differentiator.

We work deeply with MFIs, NBFCs, agri-techs, and health partners to embed insurance into their ecosystems, and are also taking the initial steps to distribute small ticket size retail insurance products to their customers.

Beyond insurance brokerage, Coverfox also operates Coverstack, a technology platform that enables non-insurance businesses to seamlessly cross-sell or up-sell insurance products.

In the past year alone, we’ve touched over 2.5 million lives. And we’re scaling rapidly.

Behind this journey is a founding team with a rare mix of domain expertise across financial services, technology, and capital markets - brought together not just by skill, but by long-standing trust and shared purpose. Together, we're building something meaningful - and we’re just getting started.
