Edelweiss General Insurance, India’s first cloud-native insurer, has launched a first of its kind open API gateway to facilitate complete digital collaboration with its business partners. The company’s authorized partners can now easily integrate their systems with the company’s robust technology platform, which will help further reinforce the company’s linkages with both customers and partners. It would enable distributors to speedily integrate available and new products and services and significantly lower the cost of integration and retrieve information such as product premium, policy details, etc, in real-time. The gateway is also aimed to bring in a seamless and delightful experience to the end consumer. The integration will create more choices for the consumer and will also offer a much better experience with regards to policy purchase, post-issuance needs such as policy information updates, and claims. Shanai Ghosh Executive Director & CEO of the company said APIs have become an essential element in today’s digital economy and are rapidly transforming the way we work and the proposed gateway is aimed to make API consumption easy in a self-assisted manner. She said the company has provided robust and comprehensive documentation of APIs, including example code samples so that partners can get started within a matter of minutes with an easy sign-up process.
