AI for Insurance Businesses in India (2025)

May 10, 2025

In the rapidly evolving landscape of India’s insurance sector, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation for Insurance businesses is not merely a trend but a strategic imperative. As we navigate through 2025, the demand for bespoke software solutions tailored to the unique challenges and regulatory frameworks of the Indian market has never been more pronounced. At ProfitMatics, we are at the forefront of this transformation, delivering custom applications that enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and elevate customer experiences in the fintech domain. Considering the competition among Insurance Brokers, building custom for the business is the best way to scale and digitalise. Sharing below the trends and use cases of custom Insurance software, for your journey with Fintech. The Imperative for Custom Insurance Software in India If you have been in the Insurance Industry since a decade or so, you probably are done with the limitations and issues that come packed with the third party SaaS solutions, such as agent management softwares, CRMs and Underwriting tools. Generic software often falls short in addressing the specific needs of Indian insurance agents and companies. Here are some you might feel relatable to. Common Limitations of Off-the-Shelf Insurance Software Minimal Branding or Personalization OptionsAgents are often stuck with templated interfaces and branding, missing opportunities to build a strong digital presence or offer tailored client experiences. Rigid WorkflowsPre-designed platforms often come with fixed processes that don’t adapt to the varied needs of Indian insurance agents dealing with diverse client portfolios and policy types. Limited Compliance FlexibilityKeeping up with IRDAI updates and state-specific regulations can be difficult when platforms lack customizable compliance modules. Generic Lead ManagementMany third-party systems provide a one-size-fits-all CRM that doesn’t account for the specific funnel stages or client behavior typical in the Indian insurance landscape. Poor Localization SupportMultilingual support, regional document formats, and locally relevant reporting features are often missing or poorly implemented. Difficult to Scale with GrowthAs insurance advisors grow from solo agents to teams or firms, many platforms fail to scale with new workflows, hierarchical roles, or custom access controls. Data Silos and Limited IntegrationsGeneric platforms may not integrate seamlessly with underwriting engines, KYC providers, WhatsApp automation, or accounting software used in India—leading to siloed data and inefficiencies. Custom solutions offer several advantages: First would be of course, having a software the way you want. Your workflow, your business operations, your strategies and your team management, all customised, just the way your vision stands. Apart from the “my own” feeling, it also helps with: Regulatory Compliance: India’s insurance regulations are intricate and frequently updated. Custom software can be designed to adapt swiftly to these changes, ensuring ongoing compliance. Localized Features: Custom applications can incorporate regional languages, local taxation rules, and specific underwriting guidelines, enhancing usability and relevance. Integration Capabilities: Tailored solutions can seamlessly integrate with existing systems, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools, policy management systems, and third-party APIs, streamlining operations. Automation and Data Handling for Richer Analytics: Purpose-built platforms can automate repetitive workflows like premium reminders, renewals, or document verification while capturing valuable data at every touchpoint. This data can then be transformed into actionable insights through embedded analytics and dashboards—supporting smarter decisions and personalized customer engagement. Scalability with Your Business Model: Custom software evolves with your advisory business—from a solo operation to a large agency—supporting new workflows, custom user roles, or additional branches without forcing major system overhauls. Enhanced Security and Data Ownership: With a custom solution, sensitive customer data is stored in secure, private infrastructure—not shared with third-party vendors—ensuring full control over data privacy, audit trails, and user access. Still considering if it’s the right choice? Take a look at what the rest of industry demands. According to a report by The Business Research Company, the global custom software development market is projected to grow from $44.52 billion in 2024 to $54.26 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 21.9%, highlighting the increasing demand for bespoke solutions. The Business Research Company Got an Idea? Let’s brainstorm the solution together! Custom Insurance App Development: Meeting the Digital Demand With the proliferation of smartphones and increased internet penetration, majority of your audience has shifted to the small digital devices that carry the world. There’s a growing demand for mobile insurance applications that offer: User-Friendly Interfaces: Custom apps can be designed with intuitive interfaces that cater to the tech-savvy Indian demographic. Real-Time Policy Management: Policyholders can view, update, and manage their policies on-the-go. Instant Claim Processing: Integration of AI allows for real-time claim assessments and approvals, enhancing customer satisfaction. AI Voice Agents for customer support: Voice Agents are the new trend when it comes to customer support. Having data backed agents can drastically reduce the waiting time for your customer, solving the FAQs as well as personal queries in seconds, on a call that sounds humane and real. AI Recommendation System: With custom software, AI algorithms can be trained on your specific customer profiles, policy types, and historical data to deliver hyper-personalized product recommendations. This not only boosts policy conversions but also helps agents upsell or cross-sell based on real-time customer behavior, risk appetite, and financial goals—something generic platforms struggle to fine-tune. For understanding the trends in different Insurance Domains, read this article backed with stats and funded insurtechs. The Indian insurance software market size reached USD 146.40 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 275.83 million by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.75% from 2025 to 2033, driven by increasing digitalization and demand for personalized customer experiences. IMARC For more such trends of Insurance Industry, read this dedicated blog that explores the roadmap to Digitalisation for Insurance Brokers.

Flutter or React Native- Which is better for Fintech App Development

September 24, 2024

Bringing out the best requires choosing the best from the sea of options available. Choosing a development partner with proven expertise is crucial for ensuring your business outcomes align with your strategic goals. We are here to make it easy for you and your developers.  Read this blog to understand the differences between Flutter and React Native and what would be best for you Fintech.  What exactly is Flutter and React Native? You can skip this part if you are already a seasoned developer, but if you are someone beginning your Fintech Journey, this portion of the blog will make these big terms easy for you to understand.  Flutter- The partner for your Fintech App  Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google. It is often used for frontend development, though backend development is also possible. It can be used to develop cross platform applications from a single codebase for the Web, Fuchsia, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.  You can check out our blog on Best Ui/Ux practices for Fintech Apps for more context: Flutter ships applications with its own rendering engine which directly outputs pixel data to the screen. This is in contrast to many other UI frameworks that rely on the target platform to provide a rendering engine, such as native Android apps which rely on the device-level Android SDK or React Native which dynamically uses the target platform’s built-in UI stack. Flutter’s control of its rendering pipeline simplifies multi-platform support as identical UI code can be used for all target platforms. Here’s a quick overview of how Flutter is great to use: Benefits of Flutter  Also, Flutter 3.24 has been released and here’s a snippet of major changes: Significant GPU Rendering Improvements One of the major highlights of Flutter 3.24 is the enhancement in GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) rendering, which is critical for applications that require smooth animations and visually intensive graphics. Multi-View Embedding: A New Dimension of Flexibility The introduction of multi-view embedding in Flutter 3.24 is a game-changer for developers working on complex applications. It allows for the embedding of multiple Flutter instances within a single app, each managing different views or sections.  Dart 3.5 Integration: Elevating Development Efficiency The release of Dart 3.5 has introduced a suite of new features and optimizations that improve both the development experience and the performance of Flutter apps. Dart 3.5 has brought enhanced type inference, making it easier to write concise, maintainable code. Advanced DevTools for Enhanced Development Experience A slice of happiness for the Developers- this latest version comes with advanced DevTools that offer you more powerful debugging and profiling tools. It’s an enhanced experience in itself. There is more to add, but let’s stick to our main learning for this blog.  Now, Let’s move forward to React Native: Is this the same as React? NO. But its functionality is the same as React, right? WRONG. React Native was first released by Facebook as an open-source project in 2015. It is considered one of the top solutions used for mobile development. It is a free, open-source JavaScript framework for building apps.  What makes React Native stand out is usability for both Android and iOS mobile apps. Also, since React Native was built based on React – a JavaScript library, which was already hugely popular when the mobile framework was released, it comes with an easy learning curve since developers are already accustomed to using React. Instagram, Pinterest and Skype are built on React Native.  Here are some more benefits of using React Native: Which would be better for Fintech Applications? For Fintech app development, the decision of using Flutter or React Native often hinges on factors like performance, development speed, community support, and specific project requirements. Let’s discuss each of them here: Here’s an insight: Majority of Fintech Startups prefer using Flutter, for its obvious use cases and advantages. You can still choose between the two, but make sure your App’s features are not compromised by any of them. Performance: Flutter’s compiled native code often delivers superior performance compared to JavaScript-based frameworks like React Native. This is crucial for financial apps where speed and responsiveness are paramount. So for better performance delivery, Flutter is the better choice Cross-platform development: Flutter allows you to build apps for both iOS and Android from a single codebase, saving time and effort.   UI/UX: Flutter’s rich widget library and declarative programming style make it easier to create visually appealing and consistent user interfaces.   Hot reload: This feature of Flutter enables developers to see changes instantly, accelerating the development process.   Community and ecosystem: While the Flutter community is growing rapidly, it may not be as mature as React Native’s, especially in terms of third-party libraries and tools specifically tailored for Fintech. Learning curve: If your team is primarily familiar with JavaScript, React Native might have a shallower learning curve. Flutter uses the programming language Dart , which isn’t that hard to adapt to. Large community: React Native boasts a vast and active community, offering a wealth of resources, libraries, and support. But with Flutter’s success strides and new versions being released, we think this might become a debatable topic in a few years. Third-party ecosystem: React Native benefits from a mature ecosystem of libraries and tools, including many specifically designed for Fintech applications.   Bridging: React Native relies on a JavaScript bridge to communicate with native components, which can introduce potential performance overhead.   So, we have summed up the differences between Flutter and React Native, the use cases for each, the pros and cons depending on different scenarios, and what factors you need to keep in mind while choosing for your Fintech App. Let’s go a step further and see which one is better for different domains of Fintech: Yes, we got it simplified for you!  How can we be sure of this? We are experts in building Fintech Apps. Having built apps across all domains, we have the experience and expertise for choosing the right technology for each of them. You can

how does Broker earn money

How Do Stock Market Brokers Make Money Through Apps?

September 14, 2024

In a simpler language with great examples!  Remember those days when you had to be physically present, on a phone call with your Broker to converse Trades? So much has changed since then.  But one question that strikes in the minds of new traders and anyone who wants to learn about Fintech, is how do brokers earn money, in the current scenario, with an app.  Let’s understand the Business Model behind Brokers earning revenue through Trading Apps. Commissions on Trades The first one is of course commission.Whenever a user buys or sells a stock through the app, the broker takes a small percentage or flat fee as a commission. These commissions may vary based on the type of asset being traded (stocks, options, futures, etc.), and some brokers even offer different rates for frequent or high-volume traders. Here’s an example to understand this : A broker might charge $5 per trade or a percentage (e.g., 0.1%) of the total transaction value. What does this bring? Some brokerages charge commissions on stock and ETF trades, but these costs are currently on the decline. Look for : Otherwise, you could pay between $3 and $7 as a trading fee, depending on the online broker. Some brokers offer discounts for high-volume traders. Spread or Markup on Trades While commission is the most common way,  some brokers make money through the bid-ask spread. This means they sell an asset to the user at a slightly higher price than they purchased it for (ask price) or buy it back at a slightly lower price than the market price (bid price). The difference between these prices, known as the spread, is kept by the broker as profit. Let’s assume that a broker buys a stock for $100 but sells it to the user for $100.05. The 5-cent difference here, is broker’s revenue. Revenue Model used here: Interest on Margin Accounts (Borrowed Capital Model) If a Trader wants to borrow money to trade (margin trading), he can do so by borrowing from his broker on some interest charges. This kind of trading allows traders to leverage their positions and potentially earn higher returns, but the broker earns interest on the funds.  It’s a win- win situation for both of them. Discover a powerful Forex trading strategy that has helped achieve remarkable profits. This PDF contains strategies for every type of trade in easy and simple explanations. Click the link below to have access to the PDF Now! Subscription Fees for Premium Features Almost all stock trading apps available in the market offer premium services or features, such as advanced research tools, real-time data, or exclusive trading insights. Anyone too much into trading would be allured by these features. This marketing strategy brings extra revenue for Brokers.Example: – A broker might charge $15/month for access to the pro version of the app having in-depth stock analysis tools or faster trade execution. When does this model work and why? – This model works well for serious traders who need more sophisticated tools than what free accounts offer. – Recurring revenue from subscriptions provides consistent cash flow for the broker. We can help you build a Trading app of your vision with great features and high security. Book a 30 Min Meeting to discuss your idea. We promise it will be great for both of us! Order Flow Payments Another revenue stream for brokers is payment for order flow (PFOF). In this model, brokers route their clients’ orders to specific market makers or high-frequency trading firms, who then pay the broker for sending them trade orders. This doesn’t typically affect the client’s trade experience, but it helps the broker earn extra revenue. For example, a market maker might pay the broker a small fee (fractions of a cent) for each share traded through their platform. This works because, Account Management Fees Brokers with their own apps charge an account management fee, especially for clients who use their services for long-term portfolio management. This is typically a percentage of assets under management (AUM) or a flat annual fee. A broker might charge 1% of the total assets a user holds with them on an annual basis. The larger the AUM, the more fees the broker collects. In-App Advertising and Affiliate Partnerships Some brokers monetise their apps by incorporating advertising or affiliate partnerships. This might involve displaying relevant financial products or services to users, such as credit cards, insurance, or other investment platforms, and earning a commission for each referral. Here’s how it actually works: A broker might partner with a bank or financial institution and display ads for their savings accounts. Each time a user signs up, the broker earns a fee. Advertising partnerships can be particularly lucrative for brokers with a large user base. Affiliate marketing brings in additional revenue with minimal effort beyond app integration.

10 Reasons Your Fintech App Isn’t Gaining Sales: A UI/UX Expert’s Perspective

September 11, 2024

In today’s fast-evolving fintech landscape, a well-designed app is crucial for success. But even if your app offers revolutionary features, it might struggle to gain traction and convert users into paying customers. Why? The answer often lies in User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design. Here’s why your fintech app might be missing the mark from a UI/UX expert’s viewpoint: Complex Onboarding Process First impressions matter. If your app requires users to fill out lengthy forms, verify numerous details, or jump through hoops just to get started, they’re likely to leave before they even experience its value. Solution: Simplify the onboarding process. Use progressive sign-ups, social logins, or guest access options to reduce friction and allow users to engage with the app more quickly. Poor Navigation A fintech app often has various functions like account management, investments, payments, and market tracking. If the navigation is unintuitive, users will get frustrated searching for basic features. Solution: Organise content logically. Use intuitive symbols, simple language, and a consistent layout. Make use of UX patterns like bottom navigation bars and search functionality to help users locate features effortlessly. Lack of Personalisation Modern fintech users expect apps to provide a personalised experience. An app that doesn’t adapt to user preferences—whether that’s by suggesting relevant financial tools or tailoring content to individual needs—will fail to engage users. Solution: Leverage data to offer customised dashboards, personalised notifications, and relevant content suggestions. Let users adjust settings and save preferences for a more tailored experience. Slow Load Times Financial transactions require real-time data. If your app is sluggish, users will quickly lose patience, especially when they are trying to make fast investment decisions. Solution: Optimize app performance by using faster algorithms, caching frequently used data, and minimising large file sizes. A delay of even a few seconds can cost you users and, consequently, sales. We know how crucial speed and security are for fintech apps, but we also recognize the importance of a seamless UI/UX. Feel free to explore some of our fintech apps, which combine great design with powerful features and top-notch performance. Check out our Fintech Apps Now! Cluttered Interface Fintech apps, by nature, handle complex data and transactions. But packing too much information onto the screen creates confusion. If users are overwhelmed by a cluttered interface with too many charts, numbers, or buttons, they’re likely to abandon your app quickly. Solution: Implement a clean, minimalist design. Prioritise essential features and keep secondary options tucked away in collapsible menus. Use white space to improve readability. Unclear CTAs (Calls to Action) If your app doesn’t clearly communicate its next steps, users won’t know how to interact with it. Whether it’s subscribing to a premium service or completing a financial transaction, if the CTA isn’t clear, users will feel lost. Solution: Use prominent, actionable CTAs that guide the user naturally. Buttons should stand out through size, colour, or placement. Ensure that they clearly indicate the intended action, such as “Invest Now” or “Upgrade Your Plan.” Insufficient Security Cues In fintech, trust is paramount. If your app doesn’t communicate security measures effectively, users will hesitate to proceed with transactions or even sign up. Ignoring Mobile-First Design Mobile is often the primary platform for fintech apps, yet some developers still treat mobile design as an afterthought. If your app feels clunky or poorly optimised for smaller screens, it’s going to cost you users. Solution: Ensure your app is responsive and mobile-first. Prioritise touch-friendly buttons, gestures, and simplified layouts to make navigating the app on a mobile device intuitive and seamless. Inconsistent Design Language Consistency in design is key to a seamless experience. If your app uses different fonts, colors, or layouts from screen to screen, it creates disorientation and looks unprofessional. Solution: Stick to a unified design language. Use consistent font sizes, colors, icons, and layouts throughout the app. This will enhance the flow and improve user confidence in navigating the app. Failure to Guide Users Some fintech apps expect users to understand all the functionalities without providing sufficient guidance. This lack of onboarding tutorials or in-app assistance can alienate users who are unfamiliar with certain features. Solution: Integrate micro-interactions, tooltips, and guided tours. Help users navigate the app with ease and offer explanations when necessary. Regular updates with “what’s new” or tutorial sections can also assist in driving engagement.

5 Innovations in Cybersecurity for Fintech Apps: Securing the Future of Finance

September 1, 2024

In the high-stakes world of fintech, where financial transactions and sensitive data flow through digital channels, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated. With cyber threats evolving at a rapid pace, staying ahead in cybersecurity is not just about keeping up—it’s about leading the charge. At Profitmatics, we deliver sophisticated fintech app solutions with exceptional security, leveraging our in-depth knowledge of industry standards.  Here how our Experts put up with the latest innovations in cybersecurity for fintech apps and how our expertise can help you protect your digital assets. The Cybersecurity Landscape: Current Challenges Fintech applications face numerous cybersecurity challenges, and the stakes are high. Here are some eye-opening statistics that underscore the gravity of the situation: Data Breaches: According to a report by IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2024 was $4.45 million, with financial services being one of the most targeted sectors (IBM Security, 2023). Beyond financial losses, a data breach can severely damage a company’s reputation. Customers trust fintech companies with their sensitive financial data, and a breach can erode that trust, potentially leading to loss of business and decreased customer loyalty. Fraudulent Transactions: Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA), using AI-driven fraud detection systems, and continuously monitoring transaction patterns can help in identifying and preventing fraudulent activities. Integration Vulnerabilities: Integration vulnerabilities occur when fintech apps incorporate third-party services or APIs, which may introduce security risks if not properly managed. These integrations can expose the application to additional attackers. Increased Attack Surface: Each third-party integration or API adds a potential point of failure. If these integrations are not secured properly, they can be exploited by attackers. A study by the Ponemon Institute revealed that 60% of organisations experienced a data breach due to third-party integrations in 2022 (Ponemon Institute, 2023). Data Leakage: Poorly managed integrations can lead to unauthorised access or leakage of sensitive data, especially if the third-party services are not compliant with security standards. Top Players Securing the Future of Fintech The fintech industry is renowned for its rigorous security measures. To fully appreciate its depth, it’s essential to highlight the top players recognised for their excellence in fintech cybersecurity. CrowdStrike: Renowned for advanced endpoint protection and threat intelligence. Bluefin Payment Systems: Specialises in secure payment processing and encryption. Darktrace: Utilizes AI to detect and respond to cyber threats in real-time. IBM Security: Offers comprehensive security solutions, including threat management and data protection. Riskified: Focuses on fraud prevention and transaction security. Gen Digital: Delivers robust cybersecurity measures to protect digital assets. McAfee: Provides extensive threat detection and prevention solutions. Onfido: Known for identity verification and fraud prevention technologies. Trend Micro: Offers a wide range of security solutions for detecting and mitigating threats. Source: Eden Data Innovative Cybersecurity Strategies for Fintech Apps 1. Advanced Encryption Techniques Data security relies on Encryptions. The advancements in encryption methods are setting new standards for fintech apps. Techniques such as AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) encryption ensure that data remains secure both at rest and in transit. Both of these techniques have certain differences, which are explained below. 2. AI-Driven Threat Detection Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing cybersecurity with its ability to analyze large volumes of data and detect anomalies in real-time. Machine learning algorithms can identify unusual patterns and potential threats faster than traditional methods. 3. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification.  A study by Microsoft showed that MFA blocks 99.9% of automated attacks, making it a critical component in enhancing security (Microsoft, 2023). 4. Behavioural Analytics Behavioural analytics involves monitoring user behaviour to identify suspicious activities. By analysing patterns such as transaction frequency and login locations, we can spot deviations that may indicate fraudulent activity. 5. Secure APIs and Third-Party Integrations APIs are essential for modern fintech apps, but they can also be a security weak link if not properly managed. Using OAuth 2.0 and API gateways ensures secure data exchanges.  A report by the API Security Project found that securing APIs with OAuth 2.0 can greatly reduce the risk of API-related breaches. Read one such case study on the making of a Trading App and how we managed API Integration on a challenging project with great success.
