Deploy an agentic renewal and service layer that converses with every policyholder ahead of premium due dates and revives lapsing policies, moving persistency percentage points that flow directly to embedded value.
One of India's largest private life insurers, with persistency ratios publicly reported and tracked by analysts as a core value-of-new-business driver.
Public factDistribution is heavily bancassurance-led (notably through HDFC Bank branches) alongside agency and digital channels.
Public factIRDAI regulations govern policyholder communication, free-look, grace periods, and revival windows — conversational outreach must be conduct-perfect.
Public factRenewal-reminder operations are likely a mix of SMS/email blasts and outbound calling concentrated near due dates, with coverage thinning on lower-ticket policies.
Reasoned inferenceA meaningful share of lapses are likely 'soft' — missed mandates or address/contact drift — recoverable by a timely conversation rather than a collections-style chase.
Seller hypothesis — validateValidate with the account team before outreach: Current persistency baselines by cohort and channel · Policy-admin API readiness for real-time dues and revival computation · Existing renewal-calling vendor arrangements and their contracts
Limited internal ability or appetite to build the core platform — strong candidate for the packaged solution
Evidence: Strong distribution and product franchise whose digital assets (app, WhatsApp servicing, the Elle chatbot) are largely delivered through insurtech vendors; internal engineering is not positioned to build conversational infrastructure.
Why they won't build the full stack: IRDAI-conduct-perfect conversational outreach across speech, telephony, and evaluation is specialist infrastructure; the insurer's appetite is a governed platform integrated to the policy-admin system, not an internal build.
Persistency ratios (13th/61st month) are reported quarterly and framed by analysts as a core value-of-new-business driver
GTM implication: Renewal-save automation moves the exact metric the street prices — the EV math settles the business case
| Workflow | Why it matters here | Value | Complexity | Speed | Channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Renewal-premium reminders & grace-period saves Every due policy gets a two-way, language-matched conversation with in-channel payment and mandate-fix guidance. | Each percentage point of 13th-month persistency is analyst-visible value; conversations beat blasts at saving marginal policies. Friction today: SMS reminders are ignored; calling capacity concentrates on high-ticket policies; mandate failures surface late. | WhatsAppVoiceEmail | |||
Lapsed-policy revival campaigns Structured revival conversations that compute dues, explain requirements, and book medicals where needed. | Revival within the regulatory window restores in-force value at far lower cost than new acquisition. Friction today: Revival outreach is periodic and generic; requirements (health declarations, dues computation) need agent callbacks. | VoiceWhatsApp | |||
Policy service & fund-value line Grounded self-service for the top service intents; complaints and advisory questions warm-transferred. | ULIP fund-value, statement, and nominee-change queries drive steady inbound that today queues for human agents. Friction today: Re-authentication and system toggling for answers that exist in the policy system verbatim. | VoiceWhatsAppApp chat |
Voice & channel orchestration, telephony, conversational execution, session/state, routing, integration build. Capability coverage validated during implementation.
API access to these systems is the critical-path dependency.
Identity-bound sessions, policy-bounded actions, 100% audit logging, human approvals at defined points, in-tenant intelligence.
All figures are modelling estimates from the labeled inputs above — nothing here is customer-provided yet. The pilot's first job is replacing these assumptions with HDFC Life's measured baseline. Package price covers implementation only; recurring usage billed separately.
Why this package for HDFC Life: Renewal, revival, and service deflection are three well-bounded workflows on policy-admin integrations — the scale package fits; claims and distribution support can follow.
Packages cover implementation and integration only. Recurring costs are billed separately: Tilicho Labs platform usage (~$0.15/call-min indicative, usage only), Google Cloud consumption, telephony/carrier charges, managed operations, and support & optimization. No package includes unlimited usage.
“Persistency is the value story you tell the street every quarter; a conversational layer that saves marginal renewals moves that number policy by policy.”
“One policy-admin integration powers renewal, revival, and service workflows — a contained scope with enterprise-grade logging from day one.”
“Grace-period saves currently depend on calling-capacity triage; automation makes full-book coverage the default, including low-ticket policies you cannot afford to call today.”
“Bancassurance sells the policy; this keeps it in force — and hands your agency force ranked revival leads with context instead of cold lists.”
“Every policyholder conversation follows IRDAI-compliant scripts with full transcripts — outreach you can evidence, not just assert, under conduct review.”
“Compare the platform cost to the embedded-value impact of one persistency point; the renewal-save economics settle the procurement debate quickly.”

Customer-safe by construction: drafts are composed only from customer-facing fields. Account tier, build-vs-buy classification, priority score, internal routing, and partner-commercial detail are not inputs to the composer, so they cannot appear in a draft. Money figures are always framed as modelled from the customer's own volumes. Read before sending — you own what goes out.
Top-three private life insurer where persistency (13th/61st-month) is the value metric the street watches — renewal-premium conversations are a direct lever on embedded value, with IRDAI-conscious conduct needs.
Propose a 13th-month persistency pilot on one policy cohort: conversational renewal outreach for 90 days versus SMS-only control, EV impact modeled with the persistency team.
