About Us
ACKO is India’s first and only fully-digital Insurtech (product) company to have taken insurance by storm. You might have seen our cool ads or are already a customer and we hope you have noticed how we are rewriting the rules of the insurance game constantly and persistently.
Based out of Bangalore, we are solving for the Indian market. But we are a part of a global wave of insurtech startups such as ZhongAn in China , Oscar, Lemonade, Metromile in the US, that are known to succeed owing to their business models and technology.
We are a unicorn backed by a slate of marquee investors like Binny Bansal, Amazon, Ascent capital, Accel, SAIF, Catamaran, General Atlantic and Multiples. In only four years since our inception and operations, our products have reached ~75M unique users. We have partnered with some of the biggest names of the digital ecosystem such as Amazon, Ola, RedBus, Oyo, Lendingkart, ZestMoney, GOMMT group etc.
At ACKO, job roles are focused at impact and we’re here to transform the way the industry operates. Innovation drives us and our products, and we are poised to disrupt insurance, powered by our pioneering products. We have changed the landscape of this age old sector in a growing economy like India and have miles to go from here.
After having crossed the $1B valuation mark, our eyes set on even bigger milestones. If you think we’re just about growth and numbers, employee wellbeing lies at the core of all our programs and policies. We are a regular ‘Great Place to Work’ winner and consistently feature on Linkedin’s list of top startups. Currently 1000 strong, we are hiring across all functions.
