Our partnership with SK Finance brings together two complementary strengths; deep customer understanding and differentiated protection capabilities. By leveraging such partnerships, we can make life insurance more accessible, relevant and integrated into the financial journeys of customers across the country, particularly those who remain underserved by formal protection mechanisms.”
Yash Setia, Whole-time Director, SK Finance Limited, said, “Financial resilience is not just about access to credit, but also about ensuring that customers and their families are protected against unforeseen circumstances. Our partnership with Axis Max Life is a meaningful step in that direction, enabling us to bring relevant credit life protection closer to customers across India’s emerging markets. With our strong presence in rural and semi-urban communities and continued investments in technology to make financial services simpler, more accessible and inclusive, we are well placed to integrate protection into the customer journey.
