WRMS Global, a climate and agriculture risk Management Company joined forces with MIC Global, a full-stack embedded micro insurance provider to Deliver Flood Resilience Cover to Merchants and Gig Workers in India. With this association, the aim is to bring loss of income coverage to India’s merchants and gig workers faced with unprecedented flood risks, supported by MIC’s MiIncome digital reinsurance solution.
In the first of a series of product innovations responding to increasing events caused by extreme weather – such as floods – and the subsequent loss of income gap experienced by working individuals across the globe, MIC have developed their Flood Resilience trigger as part of their MiIncome digital reinsurance solution.
This new to market parametric micro insurance product – available to customers via platform partners and local insurers in India – provides micro businesses, merchants, and gig workers in India with access to cover for when faced with loss of income due to flooding in their local area. Our solution includes a parametric claims process, with inconvenience payments made to help platform companies put money into the pockets of individuals, supporting them when flooding hits their local area.
WRMS helps people and businesses boost productivity, engage in sustainable working practices, and secure a reliable income through risk management solutions based on data, technology, and financial innovation. Key to this partnership is WRMS’ commitment to securing income.
