At Max Life, we have worked with a large number of startups through the past few years to enhance customer experience. We are now taking our commitment to the next level by introducing the Max Life Innovation Labs programme. Through this initiative, we hope to develop robust solutions, mentor and collaborate with start-ups and build greater synergies between traditional and new age models in the life insurance industry.”
