The company's commitment to digital transformation and its embrace of AI-driven technologies have positioned it as a frontrunner in delivering superior customer experiences and operational efficiencies.

The award specifically acknowledges HDFC Ergo General Insurance Limited Shares' success in accelerating product launches, streamlining system integration, and enhancing market agility through Duck Creek's Policy, Billing, Rating, and Insights solutions. In a rapidly evolving Indian insurance market, characterized by increasing customer demand for personalized services, HDFC Ergo has proactively embraced innovation to meet and exceed these expectations.

Sriram Naganathan, President & CTO at HDFC Ergo General Insurance Company Limited, emphasized the company's dedication to providing best-in-class solutions, stating, "At HDFC ERGO, our endeavor has been to offer best-in-class solutions and experience to our customers... The tech enablement from Duck Creek matched perfectly to this requirement." This strategic partnership has enabled HDFC Ergo to introduce dynamic, hyper-personalized, and innovative products, setting a new standard for customer service in the insurance industry.

One of the key achievements highlighted was the implementation of an AI-enabled, real-time policy issuance system, which has significantly transformed the end-to-end process for its Health and Fire lines of business. This ambitious project involved a large-scale collaboration of over 45 business users and 150+ IT developers, working in parallel across multiple systems integrator partners. The results have been impressive, including a reduction in product launch time from 4-5 months to just four weeks, dramatic productivity gains for agents, and significant improvements in operational efficiency and risk reduction.
