PB Fintech’s business model to enjoy higher growth than other insurance players Analysts however believe the company is well placed to benefit from the rising insurance penetration in India, especially via digital distribution. “High growth, operating leverage, strong balance sheet and established brand recall among the Indian populace are its key business moats.
