With Gen Z (born after 1997) and Millennials (born after 1981) driving around 85% of total sales, Turtlemint continues to demonstrate its market strength, having facilitated over ₹2,000 crore in premiums over the past year alone. This success reflects not only the contribution of these tech-savvy advisors but also the company’s ability to attract and empower a diverse range of experienced professionals across its network.
This mix of advisors not only dominate in numbers but are also more inclined to leverage technology to deepen insurance penetration. According to Turtlemint’s data, 78% of their total Gen Z partners and 74% of the Millennial partners conduct most of their business online indicating digital-first approaches to make insurance more accessible in remote and underserved areas.
In Punjab, 77.6% of Turtlemint’s certified advisors are Gen Z and Millennials, highlighting a strong presence of younger professionals leading the charge in insurance advisory.
