Case study: Women Product Development and Deployment
During a field visit to our channel partner's customers, we recognised the need for a women-centric product.
With most microfinance institution (MFI) customers being rural women responsible for both household and
occupational work, supporting their medical expenses became crucial. Analysis of our Hospicash business
revealed that most claims were for amounts below ₹2,000-₹3,000. Unfortunately, these small claims often
faced delays due to their integration with larger claims, leading to inspections and impacting overall
turnaround time (TAT).
Based on valuable partner feedback, we refined the initial product, adjusting features like call timing and
coverage. To prevent misuse, we leveraged technology to restrict toll-free access to registered numbers
only. To tackle the issue of delayed small claims, we introduced an automated check-in system with specific
parameters for claim frequency, amount, and branch. This implementation streamlined the claims process,
improving efficiency and ensuring timely support for our customers.

ABHI's women-centric product has successfully addressed healthcare challenges for rural women. Limited access and cultural barriers often lead to the neglect of gynaecological problems. To bridge this gap, ABHI developed a unique fixed-benefit product providing coverage for gynaecological concerns and unlimited tele-consultancy services in vernacular languages.
