This partnership is in line with the company's brand positioning of providing simpler and smarter solutions to its existing and potential customers. This platform will offer a content rich experience for the user in a simplified manner, thereby leading to better consumer education and awareness.

Speaking on this partnership, Mr. Pradeep Pandey, Chief Marketing Officer, Future Generali Life Insurance said, "The online / digital space in insurance is growing at a fast pace and is creating new avenues to further engage and interact with consumers. Partnering with BigDecisions will give us an opportunity to reach out to a larger and relevant audience. Educating the consumer on financial security is of utmost importance and the first step towards it is identifying his/her specific lifecycle needs for easy evaluation. These online interactive tools backed by statistical data and dejargonised content will help the consumer understand and plan better. I am confident that this collaboration will help us cater to the requirements of Indian consumers in a more structured manner, enabling them to make an informed decision."

Mr. Manish Shah, Co-Founder & CEO, BigDecisions said, "We're seeing an ever increasing need from consumers to be better informed and more in control of their financial decisions. This need is independent of the decision to eventually buy a product online or offline."

"It's more about giving Indian consumers the confidence to make decisions without relying on others, and ensuring they – and not the product offering - are at the centre of the financial planning process."
