Additionally, merchants on Bukalapak’s ecommerce platform can opt to safeguard their goods from total loss or damage during transit through igloo, Axinan’s consumer brand, which was rolled out in February this year.
Sompo Insurance Indonesia (Sompo Indonesia) will act as the underwriter.
Axinan founder and CEO Wei Zhu said that the increasing demand of e-commerce in Indonesia has created an increased protection gap due to the risks associated with the e-commerce market.
“We are actively seeking to address these risks by providing products in collaboration with our insurance partners. The objective is to make these products easy, accessible and available to those who need it the most,” Zhu added.
