Galaxy Health Insurance partners with Policybazaar to leverage its extensive pan-India network
The Chennai-based company has now partnered with Policybazaar (PB), India's largest insurance distributor, to make Galaxy Marvel available to its present and potential customer base, pan-India.
Galaxy Marvel follows the success of the insurer's first flagship product, Galaxy Promise, launched in October 2024, the insurance company said in a release here.
Over the past year, the company has expanded its physical footprint across South India, insuring over 2,980 lives in Telangana and 1,750 lives in Andhra Pradesh, supported by a robust network of more than 980 agents in Telangana and 913 in Andhra Pradesh.
Commenting on the launch, Galaxy Health Insurance Managing Director and CEO, G Srinivasan, said, '... Understanding the pulse of India, we have introduced Galaxy Marvel – a plan that incentivises wellness by rewarding policyholders for maintaining good health. We are pleased to partner with Policybazaar in making this innovative product accessible to customers across India, thereby supporting deeper health insurance penetration.'
PB Fintech Joint Group CEO Sarbvir Singh said, 'Products like Galaxy Marvel are important because they shift the focus from illness to wellness. By linking incentives like wallet credits and premium discounts to healthy behaviour, they not only empower consumers to take charge of their health but also help ease long-term pressure on the healthcare system. It's a smart, timely approach, and exactly the kind of innovation the industry needs more of.'

Microsoft to cut about 4% of jobs amid hefty AI bets
Microsoft will lay off nearly 4% of its workforce, the company said on Wednesday, in the latest job cuts as the tech giant looks to rein in costs amid hefty investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company, which had about 228,000 employees worldwide as of June 2024, had announced layoffs in May, affecting around 6,000 workers. It was planning to cut thousands of jobs, particularly in sales, Bloomberg News reported last month. The Windows maker had pledged $80 billion in capital spending for its fiscal year 2025. However, the soaring cost of scaling its AI infrastructure has weighed on its margins, with its June quarter cloud margin expected to shrink from last year. Microsoft said on Wednesday it planned to reduce organizational layers with fewer managers and streamline its products, procedures and roles. The Seattle Times first reported on the layoffs earlier on Wednesday. Separately, Bloomberg News reported Microsoft's Barcelona-based King division, which makes the Candy Crush video game, is cutting 10% of its staff, or about 200 jobs. Big Tech peers, which are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, have also announced job cuts. Facebook parent Meta earlier this year said it would trim about 5% of its "lowest performers", while Alphabet's Google has also laid off hundreds of employees in the past year. Amazon has also cut jobs across its business segments, most recently in its books division. The company had earlier laid off employees in its devices and services unit, and communications staff.
