With India’s insurance sector projected to cross $220 billion by 2027 and AI expected to transform advisor productivity, Ahmedabad-based startup DROOU unveils lifetime-free AI platform for insurance agents
Ahmedabad-based startup DROOU officially launched its AI-powered platform designed exclusively for insurance agents and advisors during a grand live event titled “AI for Insurance Agents – LIVE Show” held at AMA, Ahmedabad. More than 200 insurance advisors, agents, and industry professionals attended the launch event, marking one of Gujarat’s notable technology launches focused on the insurance sector.
India’s insurance industry is currently witnessing rapid expansion, driven by increasing digital adoption, rising financial awareness, and government-backed insurance penetration initiatives. According to industry estimates, India’s insurance market is expected to surpass USD 220 billion by 2027, while the country’s InsurTech ecosystem is projected to grow at over 30% CAGR in the coming years. Simultaneously, AI adoption across financial services is helping businesses improve efficiency, automate operations, and deliver faster customer service — especially in sectors like insurance where agents handle large volumes of policy documents, renewals, and customer communication daily.
Speaking at the launch, Hemant Darji, Chief Product Officer of DROOU, who brings over 15 years of experience across insurance and technology sectors, said “India’s insurance advisor ecosystem is growing rapidly, but most agents still spend countless hours managing policy files, renewals, and manual processes. DROOU was built to solve these real operational challenges through AI. Our goal is simple give advisors their time back so they can focus on serving customers and growing their business.”
Built specifically for Indian insurance professionals, DROOU allows advisors to upload policy documents directly into the platform, which then generates AI-powered summaries, customer insights, renewal reminders, policy details, and actionable business intelligence. The platform aims to significantly reduce manual work and improve advisor productivity.
The biggest announcement of the evening was the launch of Ziva, DROOU’s entry-level AI plan offered completely free for life. The initiative has been introduced to help independent agents, first-generation advisors, and small insurance professionals adopt AI technology without financial barriers.
Industry experts at the event also discussed how artificial intelligence is expected to become a major growth driver for India’s insurance ecosystem over the next decade. With increasing customer expectations and growing policy volumes, AI-based automation is emerging as a key solution for improving efficiency, reducing response time, and enhancing customer engagement for advisors and agencies alike.
The event additionally introduced KDJ – Kaun Dega Javaab, an engaging insurance knowledge game where participants answer industry-related questions within 30 seconds. The initiative was designed to improve product knowledge and encourage learning in an interactive format.
Several attendees registered on the DROOU platform during the launch event itself, reflecting strong interest from the insurance advisor community toward AI-led business solutions.
With Ahmedabad emerging as a growing startup and technology hub, DROOU’s launch highlights Gujarat’s increasing contribution to India’s rapidly evolving AI and fintech ecosystem.
The company also confirmed plans to take the “AI for Insurance Agents – LIVE Show” to multiple cities across India in the coming months as part of its nationwide expansion strategy.
