About Policybazaar
Policybazaar was founded in 2008 in Gurugram. Before its inception, buying insurance in India was heavily dependent on offline agents, leading to mis-selling and a lack of transparency. Policybazaar launched as a simple price-comparison website to help consumers compare life and health insurance policies objectively.
Over time, it evolved into an end-to-end digital broker, facilitating the actual purchase and claim processes. Operated by PB Fintech, the group also launched Paisabazaar (a lending marketplace) in 2014. PB Fintech went public on the Indian stock exchanges in 2021.
