The target age group of this partnership is 18 to 45 years, specifically those people who are more active on their mobile phones and are tech-savvy. These types of people do not rely on the more traditional routes of getting insurances. Rai is eyeing for over 10 percent of their overall sales to come from their online channel in the coming three years. Currently, this figure is at 3% to 4%.
