Concept Note - Toffee Insurance

Primary Author: Akanksha Nag
Executive summary: 

Our vision is to make insurance accessible, relevant and affordable for communities that have been underserved. And this, of course, includes a wide population of people who currently have no safety nets for healthcare, earning risk and other financial days to day risks. Our active intention is to divert attention to the issue of under penetration of insurance and move towards making it a necessity. This can only be brought to light by spreading constant awareness and providing multiple opportunities for people to engage and relate to our concept. Our efforts will reap results if we work at a larger scale with other organisations/partners that can help us create better solutions that bring this difference and change. To solve problems of such epic proportions - we must scale and foster a strong distribution network that this investment will help us with.
