All you need to do is to log on to the website ‘insurance.kotak.com/selfie’ from your smartphone, click a selfie and get the quotation of the term insurance premium that you have to pay. The #SelfWorthTaking platform uses facial analysis algorithm to determine the premium of a term insurance plan. The main aim of running this campaign is to make the experience of selfie clicking memorable and meaningful.
The head of marketing in Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company, Jasneet Bachal says that it is an innovative experience that is playing a powerful role in extending the insurance narrative to the younger and digital savvy generation. This campaign is also breaking the barrier that taking an insurance plan is a time taking, difficult, and expensive as well. This is because taking a term insurance plan is now as easy as taking a selfie.
There are different life insurance types available in the market and a term insurance plan is one that offers death benefit in case of death of the policyholder during the policy term. The approach of getting term plan through selfie is getting so many positive responses because of its simpler and less complicated process. You can also increase the insurance cover of your term insurance plan by including some add-ons like accidental death benefit, disability cover, etc. You can also include critical illness cover by selecting ‘Kotak Critical Illness Plus Benefit’ add-on by paying some additional premium.
