Who Founded Policybazaar?

Yashish Dahiya co-founded Policybazaar in 2008 after noticing the extreme lack of transparency in the Indian insurance market, where agents routinely pushed highly unprofitable policies to consumers. Under his leadership as CEO, the company completely digitized the insurance comparison process in India, successfully guiding the parent company (PB Fintech) to a massive $770 million IPO in 2021. Yashish Dahiya was born in 1972.

Alok Bansal co-founded Policybazaar in 2008. He architected the financial backend and complex regulatory compliance structures required to operate an insurance aggregator in India. As CFO, he managed the massive early venture capital rounds that allowed the company to survive the grueling, cash-burning early days of customer acquisition.

Avaneesh Nirjar was one of the three original co-founders of Policybazaar. He helped build the initial prototype of the insurance comparison engine but left the company shortly after its founding to pursue other entrepreneurial ventures. (Exact birth year remains publicly undisclosed).
