Bengaluru, India – In a strategic shift impacting the health coverage of over 320,000 employees, Indian IT major Infosys has reportedly replaced state-owned National Insurance Company (NIC) with GoDigit General Insurance as its group health insurance provider, according to a report by Moneycontrol.
The transition marks a notable departure from traditional public sector insurers and reflects the growing preference among large enterprises for tech-savvy, customer-centric private insurers. GoDigit has gained significant traction in the group health space with its focus on digital-first service models, faster claims processing, and cost-effective premium structures—key differentiators in the evolving employee benefits landscape.
While Infosys has yet to release an official statement regarding the change, industry experts point to a broader trend: the rising demand for agility, digital convenience, and customized healthcare offerings in corporate insurance programs. The shift is seen as a signal that organizations are reevaluating legacy partnerships in favor of modern insurance ecosystems that better align with workforce expectations and operational efficiency.
This move by Infosys could set a precedent for other large corporations reviewing their employee wellness and insurance strategies, potentially reshaping the competitive dynamics between public and private sector insurers in India.
CXO TechBOT will continue to track updates on how this decision impacts employee experience and the group insurance market at large.
