MUMBAI: Policybazaar for Business, the corporate arm of one of India’s largest insurance platforms, has bolstered its advisory board by bringing in three distinguished leaders from the medical fraternity: air marshal (retd) dr Rajesh Vaidya, dr Arun Gupta, and dr Mohit Mathur.
The move strengthens the company’s focus on Professional Indemnity (PI) for doctors: a cover still under-penetrated in India despite rising medico-legal cases, AI-driven diagnostics, and evolving patient rights. It also enriches Policybazaar for Business’ Employee Health & Wellness vertical, particularly in preventive care, compliance, and critical illness management.
The new members bring diverse expertise: AVSM, VSM, air marshal (retd) and former DG medical services (air) dr Rajesh Vaidya, who managed healthcare delivery for over 1.5 lakh personnel across 100 plus facilities. A decorated officer and reformer, he pioneered large-scale health programmes and worked with the WHO on public health strategy.
Delhi Medical Council, former president, Dr Arun Gupta, with over 4,000 medico-legal cases adjudicated: A leading authority on ethics and compliance, he has delivered 600 plus lectures shaping discourse on medical law and litigation risk.
Veteran anaesthesiologist and critical care leader, formerly with Max Super speciality hospitals, Gurgaon and Dwarka, Dr Mohit Mathur: Recognised with the Sushruta Award (2021), he has advanced ICU medicine and trained multidisciplinary teams.
Commenting on the development, Policybazaar for Business, head, Sajja Praveen Chowdary said, “Professional Indemnity for Doctors and Employee Health & Wellness are critical verticals for us. The addition of these dignitaries gives unprecedented strength to our efforts helping us safeguard doctors in a complex medico-legal environment while also designing new-age covers for risks emerging from AI-driven diagnostics and modern treatment protocols.”
With this expansion, Policybazaar for Business builds on its decorated advisory board, which already includes Ajit Kumar, AV Rao, and S Nagaraj. The strengthened panel reflects the brand’s commitment to addressing the evolving insurance needs of corporates, hospitals, and healthcare professionals.
