Star Health Insurance launches insurance policy in Braille

Kolkata, Sep 4 (UNI) Star Health and Allied Insurance Co. Ltd (Star Health Insurance), India’s largest retail health insurer, on Wednesday announced the launch of an industry-first insurance policy in Braille.
According to a media statement here, the company has also launched a diversity and financial inclusivity drive to economically empower the 34 million diaspora of visually impaired/blind individuals in India with income generation opportunities. It is committed to supporting this unserved, marginalised section of society with training and upskilling to enable them to become health insurance agents with the company.
Anand Roy, MD & CEO of Star Health Insurance, said, “ We aim to build a more inclusive insurance sector – and specifically the 34 million individuals in India that are visually impaired. Aligned with IRDAI’s ‘Insurance for All’ vision, we are dedicated to ensuring democratisation of not just quality health insurance but also extend to enabling financial inclusivity by creating sustainable income generation opportunities for this unserved and marginalised section of society. And who better than Srikanth Bolla – a dynamic force in society to evangelise this movement.”
