In 2020, shortly after its establishment, Carrot introduced Pay-Per-Mile auto insurance, billing premiums on a monthly basis based on measured driving distance using its own IT device. The company also operates the Members-Auto service, using advanced analytics to assess driver’s habits and rewarding points based on safe driving score. With approximately 300 million kilometers of driving data accumulated monthly, Carrot possesses robust analytical capabilities.
Leveraging its accumulated data capabilities and experience, Carrot plans to create integral systems to facilitate LGI’s introduction of BBI product in Indonesia. Particularly, Carrot will focus on developing the real-time mobility data analytics platform for the Behavior Based Reward service (BBR) and providing modeling support for precise risk assessment for individual drivers and fleets with the company’s own know-how and data capabilities that has been proven during multi years of underwriting operations in Korea, and to ensure the successful launch and operation of BBI product in Indonesia.
Indonesia is currently the only ASEAN nation where auto insurance is not mandated, but discussions have recently been underway for mandatory auto insurance policies led by the local government. Therefore, with a population of approximately 300 million, Indonesia is considered a country with high growth potential in the auto insurance market. For global business initiatives, Carrot will continuously look for more business opportunities in the foreign environment not limited to its domestic borders.
Moon Hyo-il, CEO of Carrot General Insurance, stated “This business partnership demonstrates Carrot’s commitment to relentlessly pursuing growth and development beyond domestic borders, showcasing Carrot’s journey towards becoming a leading insurtech service provider, leveraging our expertise in data-driven insurance technology.”
