Revealing the company’s plans in Hyderabad, Jyoti Punja, deputy chief executive officer, Cigna TTK Health Insurance said, “Andhra Pradesh and Telangna which are our key markets and we have made significant strides in terms of distribution and reach, through our branch networks and a partnership with Andhra Bank. In 2017 we see digitization as a strong enabler of growth and are steadily moving forward in our digitization journey. Given the double digit medical inflation and abysmally low health insurance penetration in India, we are working towards creating the much needed awareness and education to our customers. In the coming days we want to further expand our base and had set a target of 170 per cent growth in both the states”.
