Insurance for the New Possible was joined by Hena Mehta, a Co-Founder and CEO at Basis and Isabella Carvalho, the Digital Head, Overseas General Insurance at Chubb.
Some of the insights they shared included:
- Hena’s career path is a vivid tapestry of bold moves and strategic transitions. This adaptability is crucial in today’s fast-paced global economy, where professionals often need to reinvent themselves and their careers multiple times.
- Hena’s decision to return to India from the U.S. to participate in its burgeoning startup scene underscores how FOMO can drive substantial life choices. This kind of motivation can be a powerful catalyst for career development, especially when aligned with one’s personal and professional growth goals.
- How Basis emphasizes the importance of targeted financial services that address the specific needs and contexts of women, acknowledging that generic solutions do not fully meet everyone’s needs.
- The establishment of female-focused communities is a testament to the power of spaces where women can share experiences, challenges, and advice. An emphasis on community highlights how peer support and targeted environments can significantly boost confidence and competence in financial matters.
- The critical need for financial products designed with women’s specific life patterns and goals in mind. From investment products that accommodate periods of potential lower earnings to insurance products that take into account the longevity and health cost differentials of women, gender-sensitive design can lead to more effective and equitable financial services.
