About BimaPro

BimaPro is a news service for people who work in insurance across India, West Asia and the GCC, English-speaking Africa and Asia.

Bima means insurance in Hindi, Urdu and Swahili, the languages of the markets we cover most closely.

BimaPro is published by Simson Softwares Private Limited.

What we cover

• India: Insurance news from India: IRDAI regulation, life, general and health insurers, brokers, bancassurance and InsurTech.
• West Asia & GCC: Insurance news from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and the wider Middle East.
• Africa: Insurance news from Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Africa's English-speaking markets.
• Asia: Insurance and reinsurance news from Singapore, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Malaysia and markets across Asia.

How we work

Our editors follow regulators, insurers, reinsurers, brokers and news sources across these markets. Our reported stories are written or edited by a person; short AI-written briefs are labelled as such. When we report news first published elsewhere, we say so and link to the original.

We correct mistakes promptly. If you see one, email editor@bimapro.com. Our editorial standards explain how we source stories, label sponsored content and handle complaints, and name our grievance officer.
