You know the moment.

The policy was bought. The premium was paid. Then a claim comes back “under process,” the hold music starts — and the system you trusted goes quiet. That’s the moment this industry is tested. And the moment most of it disappears.

Sound familiar?

“Someone’s parent is in the ICU, and the call comes to me — on a Sunday.”

“Upstairs wants to know why premiums jumped; downstairs thinks we bought a cheap policy. Both are looking at me.”

“I started this to look after people. I didn’t start it to argue with a TPA.”

“Good people check the benefits before they join. I want us to be the reason they stay.”

Different chairs. The same thing missing — someone who picks up, and stays.

You usually get two options. Here’s the third.

Whether someone picks up comes down to one earlier decision — who you chose. And it usually looks like a choice between two.

Only you — it’s the licence we hold.

That’s Ethika: independent, answerable to no insurer and no investor, with a team that reaches the claim before the insurer does. Under IRDAI’s regulations, a broker’s duty is to the client — to you. Being on your side isn’t a line we wrote; it’s the licence we hold.

How Ethika works

1

We audit your cover

We find the exclusions, sub-limits, claim friction and gaps — before they decide a real bill.

2

We build Protect + Rise around your people

Protect — group insurance and claim defence. Rise — the everyday benefits people actually use.

3

We run it on Ethika Hub

Hub — one app for your team, one dashboard for HR, with a real team behind every claim.

Want us to stress-test your current cover? See where it falls short →

Your benefits look complete on paper.

Until a claim tests them. A policy can pass every renewal review and still be missing the things that decide a real bill. None of it shows until someone needs it.

We design cover to close those gaps — and we’ll stress-test yours against what good looks like.

It looks complete. But does it cover…

  • Modern treatments — without being capped at half?
  • Maternity — beyond the second child?
  • Mental health — or is it left out?
  • Discharge deductions — explained, not just “as per policy”?
  • A claim escalated on your side — before it’s rejected?

Closing those gaps is exactly what Protect and Rise are for — two jobs, both run on one platform, Ethika Hub. Here’s how each works, starting with the one that matters most when everything is on the line.

When a claim goes wrong, who actually picks up?

The hard part of insurance was never buying it. It’s the day a claim is “under process,” the portal won’t load, and a frightened family is told to wait. Protect is built for that moment: when a claim is filed, it comes to Ethika’s own claims team — Red Carpet — first, so gaps and errors are caught on your side of the table before the insurer or TPA decides.

The claim is filed

It comes to Ethika first — before the insurer or TPA.

2

Our team audits it

We read the file line by line and find the gaps.

3

We push back

Errors are caught on your side of the table, not after a rejection.

4

Your employee is guided

A real person stays with them until it’s settled.

Most of the families we’ve helped through a claim couldn’t tell you the name of their TPA. They never had to. We dealt with them.

This is Red Carpet — the team at the heart of Protect. 15,000+ claims supported just last year.

A real claim · “The Clause They Overlooked”
Problem

A knee-replacement claim was approved — minus 75%.

Insurer’s reason

A “reasonable and customary” clause — the surgery looked costly next to nearby ones, so they cut the number.

What Ethika found

A Modern Treatments clause with no sub-limits — negotiated at placement for procedures like this.

Outcome

The deduction was reversed in full.

A policy is only as strong as the clauses someone fought to put in it — and fights to enforce.

A real claim on a policy Ethika placed and serviced, shared with consent. Past experience; outcomes depend on individual policy terms.

Behind Red Carpet sits the cover it defends: group health, personal accident, term life, PoSH, and cyber/DPDP — plus the upgrades each person can add for themselves: top up health, add personal accident, protect their home.

Benefits your people actually use.

Most companies pay for benefits no one uses. The wellness package nobody opens. The check-up nobody books. Around eight in ten employees can’t even name what they have — so the money you spend to look after people never reaches them.

Rise fixes that with a simple idea: a personalised wallet each person spends on what fits their life — the gym, a check-up, counselling, a course, their family’s care. Because they choose it, it actually gets used.

So HR stops paying for benefits that sit unused — and your people feel the care before the worst day arrives.

Your people’s data, guarded like their claims

We hold employee health data to run your benefits and claims — never as a product. We use it only to deliver and administer the benefit, under strict access controls; we never sell it, and never use it to profile or advertise to your people. We’re a broker that answers only to you — your people’s data is something we guard, not something we trade.

A real claim · “Winning the 1%”

Forty-five days after their son was born, his parents were told he needed hernia surgery. Then the claim came back denied — the insurer said a hernia this early was “probably congenital,” and congenital conditions weren’t covered. Probably. Our team asked them to prove it. For a week we pushed back, escalation by escalation, until the answer changed. The family received the full claim amount — at the exact moment they needed it.

A real claim from [year], shared with the family’s consent. Past experience; outcomes vary by policy and case.

Susheel Agarwal, founder of EthikaSusheel Agarwal

A company has two jobs for its people.

Help them rise. Protect them when they fall.

That idea came before Ethika was a service — it’s what our founder wrote about, taught, and ran his own company on. Today it’s the operating system behind everything we build: Protect for the hard claim, Rise for everyday care, and Hub to make both useful for your people and visible to HR.

There was a night in 2021 — a family, a denied claim, a fight no one else would take — that decided who we’d be.

Susheel Agarwal, Founder

It’s also something we teach. Workshops for founders and for HR →

Worried about the switch? That’s our job too.

No gap in cover. No messy handover. Nothing extra for your people to do.

We run the paperwork, data clean-up and insurer hand-off. If your renewal is months away, we start now and take over when the window opens.

If budget is the concern, we build around yours — group scale changes what the same spend can buy. Talk to us.

Two ways to work with us

Ethika as your broker

We place your cover, negotiate with insurers, run the servicing, and defend every claim. In this model we ask to be your only broker to the insurance market — one broker dealing cleanly with insurers earns you better terms than several chasing the same account.

Ethika alongside your broker

Locked into a global broker by a head-office mandate? Keep them for the placement — we come in as your claims and service partner, fighting claims and running everyday benefits, with no disruption to the existing setup.

Not sure your cover would actually hold? Stress-test it.

Your benefits look complete on paper — so does almost everyone’s. The real test is the ten god-forbid moments that actually walk through your door. Take ten minutes and see, honestly, how much of each your policy has.

  • The ten moments that truly test a policy — a ₹50 lakh accident, a burnout lawsuit, a discharge-day billing shock
  • The full stack of cover each one needs, named in plain language
  • Your coverage score, your gaps, and a renewal checklist to take to your broker
