Paybima, a digital platform by Mahindra Insurance Brokers, aims to address the low insurance penetration in India, where only 3% of the population holds life insurance. Recognizing the challenges posed by a lack of trust in insurance agents and insufficient knowledge about insurance products, Paybima sought to create an engaging platform for customers.

Think Design was brought on board and proposed a strategic approach focused on creating a user-friendly platform that would empower customers to make informed decisions. This strategic design direction, to position Paybima as a trusted advisor in the insurance space rather than just another sales channel, was recommended by Think Design, thoroughly validated with Mahindra Insurance Brokers, and subsequently adopted as the core vision for the platform.

Our Strategy

The Thinker Approach

Understanding that the project required immediate initiation, our team quickly immersed itself in the intricacies of the insurance landscape. We conducted extensive secondary research on competitors and performed primary user journey analysis to identify critical pain points faced by potential customers.

These essential insights uncovered during our initial analysis laid the groundwork for a user-centric design strategy that would directly address the core challenges and pave the way for positive customer interactions.

Insights We Drew/ Insights Inferred

Given that Paybima operates as an embedded system within the insurance market, it was essential to create a platform that not only looks visually appealing but also functions seamlessly. Our design needed to reflect the trustworthiness of Paybima while simplifying complex insurance concepts for users.

Furthermore, we recognized the importance of strategically positioning Paybima as a trusted advisor and companion, leveraging Mahindra’s legacy of offline experience to build credibility in the digital space. This informed our approach to crafting an omni-channel experience that meets the evolving needs of modern customers.
