Led · Series B · Nov 2025
The Policy Exchange (TPE) is developing an intelligent, data-driven platform that allows policyholders to access liquidity, maintain coverage and extract value from their insurance policies. Addressing the widespread problem of policy lapses caused by financial pressure, the company positions insurance not as an obligation but as an investment opportunity. Its founding team brings more than 75 years of combined experience across telecom, banking and insurance, which it leverages to blend industry know-how with modern digital frameworks. TPE’s customer-first design focuses on transparency and accessibility, distinguishing it within India’s rapidly evolving insurtech landscape. With fresh capital in hand, the firm plans to deepen its technology stack, scale operations nationwide and ramp up public awareness initiatives. Management has set a goal of safeguarding one million individuals over the next three years through its technology-led approach. The recent Pre-Series B raise brings total disclosed funding to at least $1.5 million, though no revenue or user figures were provided.
