Thus, achieving this significant milestone of adding 1,20,000 insurance advisors on our PoSP network is not only a validation of our efforts but indicative of the fact that we are already a few steps closer to achieving our overarching goal of universal insurance. We have remained tethered to our offline-online approach and this has helped us grow at a strong clip even during the challenging environment that stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic ”.
