Hospitalisation rates falling; rural, semi-urban areas to be growth driver: Star Health Insurance

COVID cases are on the rise once again in some parts of the world. To discuss the key risks and impact of the last COVID wave, CNBC-TV18 spoke to Anand Roy, MD of Star Health & Allied Insurance.

According to Roy, rural and semi-urban areas will be major growth drivers for the company.

“The company has also established a very focused rural vertical. We are looking at rural and semi-urban areas as a major growth driver for us. We have opened close to 200 new offices in the rural markets and in the coming years we will open close to 250-300 new locations in the semi-urban and rural markets.”
