Executive Summary

PB Fintech Ltd., the parent company of Policybazaar and Paisabazaar, has transformed India’s insurance distribution industry through its digital-first platform. The company is benefiting from India’s low insurance penetration, rising digital adoption, increasing health awareness, and growing demand for financial products.

The biggest positive development over the past two years has been its transition from a high-growth loss-making company into a consistently profitable business while maintaining strong revenue growth. FY26 results showed revenue growth of around 36% and profit growth close to 90%, reflecting improved operating leverage and scalability.
