Insurance is a sort of arrangement by which a particular entity takes the guarantee of providing compensation in case of loss, damage to a property, bad health, death etc depending on the type of insurance taken in exchange of payment of a chosen premium.

Insurance has become a part and parcel of our lives. We need it in every walk of life be it life insurance, health insurance, house insurance, business insurance, car insurance and the list goes on. According to reuters.com the global insurance market had gross premiums worth of $4609 billion in 2016. It is obvious that this figure might have seen an increase during 2017 and 2018.
The Problem
The insurance market is so huge and diverse yet there are number of problems that consumers are facing while buying insurances, which include
- You will never get a plan of your choice, there will always be some unwanted feature for which you will have to pay extra money.
- The prices of these insurances are very high.
- You have to buy plans through a third party known as insurance agent and that person also takes his commission.
- It takes days to buy an insurance policy and get the paper work done.
Solution
Blockchain has a solution for this problem as well. Blockchain is gaining mass adoption and every now and then, new areas are being decentralised.

I think it is a fantastic idea for a decentralized insurance and these are the things a blockchain technology can be applied with. @syedumair

Yes of course, insurance market is a multi billion dollar market and if blockchain replaces the old centralised market, safeinsure can be a great investment.
There is probably no field where blockchain can't be applied.
