Amaze Insurance Brokers : Promising Comprehensive Insurance Solutions With Unmatched Service Excellence
The Indian insurance industry has undergone a significant transformation, evolving from a monopolistic market to a highly competitive and optimally penetrated one. In 1972, the nationalization of 109 private insurance companies led to the formation of four general insurance companies and one life insurance company, which dominated the market. However, the lack of competition led to complacency in service delivery. The Malhotra Committee’s report in 1996-97 initiated discussions on privatization, despite resistance from public sector entities. The establishment of the IRDA in 1999 marked a turning point, paving the way for privatization. Today, India has around 30 non-life, 28 life, and five health insurance companies, significantly improving penetration levels from 0.5-1 percent to 3-3.5 percent.
Government initiatives have been instrumental in expanding insurance coverage across India. Prime Minister Modi’s flagship programs, such as Ayushman Bharat and Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, have significantly boosted the sector. Ayushman Bharat, the world’s largest government funded healthcare program, provides five lakh rupees in health coverage per family annually, benefiting millions of low-income households. Fasal Bima Yojana offers farmers comprehensive crop insurance against natural calamities. Under the leadership of the IRDAI Chairman, the insurance sector has seen a renewed focus on increasing penetration and inclusivity. The IRDAI has set an ambitious target to insure the entire population by 2047. Initiatives like ‘Bima Vahak’ aim to deploy insurance agents at the village level, ensuring that even the most remote areas have access to insurance services. Additionally, Digitization and AI-driven solutions further enhance accessibility and efficiency, laying the ground work for a robust insurance ecosystem in India.
However, the insurance industry faces significant challenges, particularly in addressing the impact of natural catastrophes. India lacks comprehensive coverage despite frequent disasters like the floods in Kerala. The absence of state-wise catastrophe insurance programs leaves affected families vulnerable, struggling to rebuild their lives and homes. Effective risk management and mitigation planning are crucial, as governments alone cannot fully compensate for the extensive losses caused by natural calamities. Comprehensive catastrophe insurance is essential for safeguarding lives, properties, and livelihoods.
To this end, Amaze Insurance Brokers has been at the forefront of addressing modern client needs in the insurance sector through innovative approaches and advanced technology. Since 2016, the company has pioneered an end-to-end software platform for affordable livestock insurance in Telangana, significantly reducing premiums for the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and saving around Rs.70 lakhs annually. They have also developed a self-funded health scheme for TTD employees and provided strategic advice to the Andhra Pradesh Government on the Arogyashree health insurance scheme.
The company offers comprehensive insurance solutions across various industries, including power, pharmaceuticals, and hospitality, ensuring substantial premium savings and optimal coverage. Amaze Insurance Brokers has embraced digital transformation by launching an online retail insurance platform ‘bimstreet’ in 2019, which is live now. This platform features products of twelve major non-life insurers and eight life insurers. The platform provides personalized insurance reports and free claim assistance nationwide, addressing common concerns about claim settlement and insurance adequacy. With branches in Andhra Pradesh and Chennai and plans to expand to Mumbai and Bangalore, Amaze Insurance Brokers continues to innovate and provide valuable, efficient services in the evolving insurance landscape.
“We suggested a scheme where premiums are incorporated into property taxes, ensuring that coverage is extended to property, lives, livestock, and crops in the event of a catastrophe. Insurance companies would directly handle claims, providing much-needed support to survivors. Implementing a targeted, statewide risk mitigation program with mandatory premium collection is essential. While our Prime Minister has taken significant steps, cooperation from state governments is crucial, as they play a vital role in integrating premiums into property taxes to manage post-disaster situations effectively”, emphasizes Dr. K. Muralidhara Reddy, Managing Director & Principal Officer.
Dr. K. Muralidhara Reddy boasts a distinguished 35-year career in the insurance industry. His journey began with The New India Assurance Co. Ltd, where he honed his expertise in various insurance schemes. Transitioning to insurance broking in 2002, Dr. Reddy co-founded Excellent Insurance Broking Services Ltd, securing one of the first licenses from the IRDAI.

With a PG Diploma in Digital Business from Columbia Business School and broad sectoral experience, he offers comprehensive insurance solutions and continues to drive innovation and excellence in the industry through Amaze Insurance Brokers Pvt Ltd.
