Company’s Strength :

1. Advance Technology Platform: Our technology enables us to achieve efficient underwriting, which is our differentiator among insurers. We build technology-enabled solutions and employ a hybrid model of AI-enabled analytics and human assessment to streamline the value chain, aid our customers, partners and employees and drive efficiency. Around the core of our technology platform, we have developed in-house microsystems, that allow us to facilitate a range of routine tasks, from policy design, underwriting, pricing and issuance to servicing and claims management. Our platform is entirely cloud-based, making our system agile, connected and scalable. Since the platform is entirely cloud based therefore it becomes cost effective.

2. Simple & Tailored Customer Experience : The customer experience is core to what we do. Insurance products have historically been hard to understand and sign up for, and making and settling claims has been cumbersome. We are dedicated to establishing trust and promoting transparency in our relationships with our customers by simplifying insurance and offering easy-to-understand, customizable products that enhance our customers’ experience

Company’s Weakness :

1. Company have a track record of reporting losses and, we may not be able to maintain profitability in the future. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to accurately evaluate our future business prospects.

2. Company rely on motor vehicle insurance products for a substantial amount of our revenues and profitability. Any constraint on sale of these products due to future changes in regulation or customer preference, or any inability to maintain a profitable portfolio mix of products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

IPO Details :

My Viewpoint – One thing which separates Go Digit from other traditional general insurance companies is their entire platform is on cloud which makes this company cost effective, also the management of the company is highly experienced and within a short time span of six years company capture good market share in motor insurance and according to me this is one of the disadvantage also as majority of the revenue of the company (almost 61% ) comes from motor insurance. The other thing which I don’t like is the company started making profit only from the last quarter and before that company was continuously posted losses. One of the main point which stops me in applying for the IPO is its valuation, company competitors which are good brands and good market share are traded at very less P/E multiples as compared to Go Digit which ask P/E multiples of around 145. Therefore according to me if I have good option of general insurance companies which are continuously posted profits and traded at less valuations as compared to Go Digit then I will opt for those options not Go Digit.
