Firstly, a 101 on OCEN
(h/t iSPIRIT for the sessions)
- From a platform lens, a "single API for credit"
- The iSPIRIT team has devised a protocol for loan originators to "source capital" from the *entire* lending network
- Enabled by the India Stack and new regs (e.g. LSP)
2/5
OPEN would operate in a similar manner as a "single API for insurance"
Whether this evolves as private or public infrastructure, it is clear that "insurance is a feature" (just like lending)
~ 40 digital distribution partnerships via FinTechs this year alone
3/5
Below, I have highlighted OPENs process flow
(Very similar to OCEN!)

I have accounted for
a. An "insurance quote" (insurance is more complicated than lending)
- Premium & schedule
- Policy benefits & exclusions
- Complimentary benefits

b. The role of insurance brokers
4/5
India needs OPEN
- Swiss Re pegs India& #39;s protection gap at 92.8%
- Platforms have (new) locked-in distribution
