About Us
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!
‘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.

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.

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

My job title is 'Claims Simplifier.' My mum still doesn't know what that means. But our customers do.
