Shreya from CLSA raised concerns that broker commission rates (~16-17% for Policybazaar) may appear higher than other channels when measured by commission-to-premium ratio, potentially triggering EOM cap scrutiny. Management responded that total cost of operation (not just commission) makes Policybazaar the lowest-cost supplier.
Year-over-year take rates declined due to product mix shift from guaranteed return products to ULIPs in the savings segment. While management views this positively for customers, it impacts near-term revenue recognition.
Alok acknowledged that POSP business 'essentially competes on commission' unlike Policybazaar's digital platform, creating margin pressure risk as the industry scales under potential EOM caps.
With health significantly outperforming the 53% combined growth rate, execution risk increases. Management was reluctant to provide specific segment breakdown, making it difficult to assess sustainability of current growth trajectory against market share gains.
