About Plum

Healthcare in India is seeing a phenomenal shift. Healthcare cost is seeing an inflation that is three times the general inflation.

As many as 600mn Indians would depend on employer-sponsored insurance.

Enter Plum. Plum is re-imagining the health insurance stack, and accelerating the penetration of health insurance in India to 100%. Plum has forged new underwriting and fraud detection algorithms to enable companies as small as 2 to benefit from a group insurance.
