Indian fintech firm MobiKwik has rolled out an insurance plan to secure household goods from mishaps in collaboration with private insurer ICICI Lombard.

The new offering does not need any paperwork or inspection, and policy is issued within 10 seconds.

It has been designed to protect household appliances including TV, refrigerator, furniture, from fire accidents caused by short circuits and gas leakages.

The policy provides a coverage of INR200,000 ($2,873) for a monthly premium of INR25.

To generate the insurance policy instantly, the user needs to pay the premium and enter the address and details of home contents using MobiKwik app. The claims process is also digital.

MobiKwik co-founder Upasana Taku told The Economic Times: “MobiKwik has pioneered sachet-size micro insurance in India by curating combination products at affordable prices and making them accessible to millions of Indians.
