More than paperwork and policies: Innovating Insurtech in India & Southeast Asia

Forget everything you thought you knew about insurance—it's not just paperwork and policies, it's a financial lifeline keeping millions from falling into poverty. In this episode of The Trillion Dollar Opportunity, co-hosts Johan Bosini and Shannon Austin explore how insurance has become the critical second phase of financial inclusion in emerging markets. When 330 million people in India lack health insurance and coverage rates remain low across much of Southeast Asia, innovative InsurTech companies are stepping in where traditional models have failed. Kulin Shah is the co-founder and COO of Onsurity, which is bringing affordable health benefits to India's 63 million small businesses. Cindy Kua is the co-founder and CEO of Sunday, who's reimagining insurance across Southeast Asia with a digital-first approach to healthcare, automotive, and gadget protection. These entrepreneurs are not just preventing financial catastrophe when disaster strikes but enabling economic resilience and opportunity for millions.
