Speaking about the fresh fund, Jiwani mentioned, “Our focus is entirely on scaling the business and that is why we are investing heavily on tech to automate policy issuance. We want to enable users to get insurance policy for anything including health and term life online without having to go to an agent or an insurance company’s office. Additionally introducing our services to consumers looking for such products digitally is key as it is still not common in Pakistan’s eCommerce sector.”
Charles Ludwig, investment manager with Oman Technology Fund (OTF), was quoted as saying, “We firmly believe that the average consumer commands much higher level of information and convenience than what is currently offered in Pakistan and the GCC when it comes to selecting financial products. Smartchoice secured investment from our fund through an unforgiving and rigorous process.”
