About the company:

Coverfox (www.coverfox.com) is India’s fastest growing online insurance broking firm in India. We are the first Indian firm to take a digital first approach to insurance. We throw technology, product and innovation at our problems, we don’t throw people. You’ll be safe here. J

Funded by SAIF partners, Accel and Narayan Murthy’s Catamaran Ventures, Coverfox has been recognized at the Business Today Coolest Startup of the Year (2017), The Smart CEO Startup50 (2016), India FinTech Awards (2016) and the IAMAI Digital Marketer Awards (2016).

The firm is founded by alumni from IIT Bombay and MICA. Devendra Rane, CTO and Co-Founder, ran his first company while he was still in college and has been consulting technology startups globally ever since. Premanshu Singh, Chief Executive Officer, has over a decade long experience in strategic planning and business development roles in leading corporates.
We are operating in a big market with a great opportunity. Insurance is a 40,000 crore industry in India, and mere 3 percent of the total business is online. That’s 97% growth potential. Furthermore, the industry lacks innovation and is generally considered ‘boring’. We see that as a worthy challenge to solve for.

Join us as we build the world’s greatest home for insurance!
