The case study discusses the different digital initiatives undertaken by Tata AIA Life Insurance Company Limited (Tata AIA Life) and their impact on its business operations. The initiatives included equipping sales agents with smartphones and tablets, providing user-friendly mobile applications to customers that enabled them to access and download information and upload documents from their smartphones, implementing the Video Post Sales Calling (PSC) procedure to prevent mis-selling by agents, and deploying predictive tools to identify high-risk policies. Tata AIA Life adopted different digital technologies to simplify various post-sales services and processes such as customer service operations, redressal of customer grievances through the adoption and improvement of the Net Promoter Score (NPS) metric, timely payment of insurance premiums, as well as cross-selling and up-selling.
