Founding Story
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.
