Say hello to the future of

Life Insurance!

A promise of Safeguarding your loved ones

Your Futuristic Approach towards life

A clever Investment for your family's future

We're reinventing life insurance in India, making it:
Simpler, Transparent & Flexible


For years, life insurance has been perceived as boring and complicated. Like those never-ending snooze-fest of maths classes! Talking about it would come with an aura of seriousness. Reading about it would seem like learning a whole new language.

Confusing? Yes, it was.

People like you have had to navigate complex policies, unfamiliar terms, lengthy paperwork, and the fear of making the wrong choices.

While searching for the core reason, we discovered the language used in policies, the myriad of options, and the sheer number of variables are what make the process seem unnecessarily complex. 

While life itself is seemingly complicated, your Life Insurance

policy doesn't have to be. We're breaking it down into

simplified components for you!

While life itself is seemingly complicated, your Life Insurance policy doesn't have to be. We're breaking it down into simplified components for you!

‘To make insurance simple’ – led by the mission, since our inception in 2017, we have been able to help 3 crores+ Indians avail flexible, transparent and simple insurance products for their diverse needs – health, motor, travel, and pet insurance.

With constant support and trust received for our general insurance products, we are now redefining and redesigning ‘life insurance’ for you. Besides streamlining the life insurance policies, we are committed to educating our customers about the insurance terms and benefits, ensuring they know what they’re buying, and most importantly – have a smooth experience while they’re at it. 😊

What We Stand For!

Question the Status Quo

We don’t believe “this is how insurance has always worked” is a good enough reason. So, we keep re-thinking and simplifying every step.

Be Transparent

From products and claims to our Transparency Reports, we believe trust is built when people can clearly see how things work.

Use Technology to Simplify Life

Whether it’s faster policy issuance, AI-powered verification, or quicker claims settlement, technology at Digit exists to reduce friction, not add more of it. 

Show Up When It Matters Most

Life insurance is ultimately about being there for families during difficult moments. Every claim we settle is a reminder of the responsibility we carry on.

How We’ve Grown So Far

— 2023 —

  • Questioned Why Life Insurance Had to Feel Complicated
    Launched Digit Life Insurance in June 2023 with one mission: simplify life insurance with transparency, flexibility, and technology-first thinking. 
  • Started Building Trust from Day 1. 
    Within just 15 months, served over 55 lakh customers and crossed ₹100 Crore in premium in nearly 4 months. Reached ₹500 Crore Gross Written Premium by May 2024. 
  • Built Products for Real-life Needs. 
    Launched multiple life insurance products across retail, group, micro, and savings categories so protection could reach more people, across different incomes and life stages.

 

— 2024 —

  • Turned Promises into Payouts. 
    Paid ₹1.27 billion in claims within the first 15 months. Supported families of 4,851 policyholders and ensured 100% claims were settled within a month. Average death claim settlement time after documentation: just 1.21 days.

  • Combined AI with Human Judgment. 
    Introduced AI-powered medical assessments, document verification, underwriting systems, and multilingual renewal support to make insurance faster, more secure, and more accessible.
  • Reached New Growth Milestones. 
    Gross Written Premium grew to ₹1,990 Crore in FY26 with approximately 38% growth in new business premium, while operational scale continued expanding across products, policies, and customer touchpoints. 

We Didn’t Stop at One Kind of Insurance

What started as a mission to simplify general insurance grew into something bigger — a connected ecosystem across general insurance, life insurance, and reinsurance. One goal, three layers of protection.

 

Three Companies. One Philosophy.

  • Go Digit General Insurance 
    This is where it all started.
  • Digit Life Insurance 
    Because life insurance needed simplification too.
  • Valueattics Re 
    India’s first private-sector reinsurer, breaking the near-monopoly of state-owned GIC Re.

The Life of the Simplifiers of Digit

We hire curious people. People who ask 'why does this have to be this way?' before accepting anything as given. People who'd rather fix the problem than file a report about it.
Here's what our team actually says:

"

I joined to build tech. I stayed because the pantry is legendary.
