Policybazaar's Growth & Acquisition Strategy

Policybazaar built its position in online insurance comparison and is now expanding offline and into business insurance. Many customers outside the big cities still prefer not to buy insurance purely online, so it is opening physical stores and recruiting independent agents in smaller cities through PB Partners. It is also selling group health insurance to small and medium-sized businesses.

How Policybazaar Makes Money

PB Fintech is a distributor, not an underwriter: it never carries claims risk. Policybazaar earns commissions and rewards from life and general insurers when a policy is sold through its website, app, call-centre advisors, PB Partners agents or walk-in stores, and it keeps earning renewal commission as policies are renewed. Paisabazaar earns fees from banks and NBFCs for personal loans, credit cards and other credit products, using free credit-score checks to bring in users. Smaller revenue lines include corporate group insurance broking (Policybazaar for Business), the UAE business and new healthcare services. In Q1 FY27 core insurance revenue grew 46% and core credit revenue 25% year on year.
