Message fromthe ChairpersonDear Shareholders,I hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe. The secondwave of the coronavirus pandemic has been more severe andscaring for many. The ripple effect of this devastation has leftpeople and economies struggling to get back on their feet.Amid the gloom, ‘Hope’ has emerged as a saviour as always.It is ‘hope’ that binds humanity, helping it overcome everychallenge, no matter how daunting. Further, when youcombine ‘hope’ with ‘support’, most of the obstacles can beovercome.The insurance industry has played a critical role in supportingefforts of humanity during times of distress, since centuries.Be it man-made calamities or natural catastrophes, insurancehas been a key mechanism to compensate for the losses andbring things back to normalcy. However, a critical issue in thisjourney has been the embracing of this important solution byonly a few.13The under-penetration of insurance products in India hasbeen red-flagged in many forums, for several years. The riskthat such under-penetration presents is not just limited to fewsections of the society, but the burden of this risk is borne bythe entire nation. The need to scale up the reach andpenetration of insurance across India’s rural and urbanpopulace can no more be ignored.Being a part of this industry endows us with a responsibilitythat is far greater than simply meeting the demand forinsurance products. As we come to realise the limitations ofthe traditional insurance solutions in providing an armouragainst a pandemic-like situation, there is a need to exploreideas to address new age as well as pandemic risks, whichhave a much wider impact compared to regular risk events.The role that the pandemic has played in acceleratingdigitisation across sectors has been spoken at length. When itcomes to the insurance industry, this journey began a whileICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited

1 Corporate Overviewago. It continues to accelerate given the developments in theInsurTech space. Further, the regulatory authority, IRDAI hasbeen encouraging technology adoption as it works towardscreating a conducive environment for introduction ofinnovative InsurTech solutions. As we look ahead, innovativetechnology-enabled solutions will find increasing usage in theinsurance sector.When we look at industry development in recent times, theenabling measures announced by policy makers should helpkeep the momentum going. The increase in FDI limit from49% to 74% for insurers should help boost industrydevelopment and growth in the coming years. Indian insurersshould benefit from access to large pools of capital as well astechnological expertise required to scale and improvepenetration.At ICICI Lombard, we are encouraged by these tailwinds andenabling approach. Further, we continue to be guided by ourcore philosophy of being customer-centric. As such, even aswe embrace technology deeper to serve customers in currenttimes, our endeavour is to make technology the fulcrum ofevery solution we provide. Today, our platforms can provideend-to-end self-serve experiences to our customers. At thesame time, our channel partners and employees areequipped with relevant digital solutions to handhold ourcustomers ensuring service continuity and unflinchingsupport.Going beyond our role as an insurance provider, we arecommitted to serving the society through the various CSRinitiatives that we undertake throughout the year. Ouremployees have joined us as volunteers driving severalprojects focussed at uplifting the economically unfortunatesections of the society. By identifying critical areas ofassistance, we will continue to give back to the society. Such2 Statutory Reports3 Financial Statementsnon-profit humanitarian contribution is integrated in the veryethos of our Company.While the COVID-19 emergency is one which the worldhopes to tackle and solve soon, a much bigger emergencyhas been brewing silently in the background for decades.Humankind can no more pretend to ignore climate change.And together, we need to rethink the definition of successand evolution. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)metrics will serve as the new parameter to measure inaddition to the financial statements. We, at ICICI Lombard,have been making sincere efforts to strengthen our ESGinitiatives, thereby moving further ahead in our vision of beinga responsible corporate citizen.An organisation is simply a unified identity given to a largeteam of individuals playing significant roles at every level.Our existence is defined by our employees. I take thisopportunity to thank our dedicated employees who havegone beyond the call of duty to support our stakeholders inevery scenario.Even as we hope for normal times to return at the earliest, atICICI Lombard, we are treating the current phase as a greatlearning experience, the lessons of which would stay with usfor years to come.

More importantly, weneed to stay nimble, agile and resilient while focussing on ourlong-term goals.From the long-term perspective, we, at ICICI Lombard,15remain steadfast and focussed on our value creationapproach for our shareholders and our brand ethos of‘Nibhaye Vaade’, thereby reaffirming our commitment tosupport our customers, business associates, and the societyat large, in times of need.

Theimmediate impact and responses have been played out;however, the real transformation is a journey that has justbegun. We strongly believe that the world on the other sideof this crisis is a phygital one that blends the best of thephysical experiences, with the convenience of the digitaltools.

Thisresulted in over 60% motor insurance claims in FY2021being serviced by InstaSpect compared to 24.5% such casesthe year before. Our AI-powered claim settlement engineapproved over 60% group health claims within minutes. Thisfigure was 31% in March 2020.Enhancing our customer-centric propositionWe also embellished our existing products, by addingbenefits relevant to the current times. For instance, weallowed retention of no claim bonus even in the case of aCOVID-19 related claim. We reduced the waiting period fornew policies from 30 days to 15 days, specifically in the caseof COVID-19 claims. We also launched a cashless HomeHealthcare benefit to facilitate claims for treatment availed athome. At this juncture, we would like to acknowledge theproactive and enabling approach of the regulatory authority(IRDAI) that allowed us to introduce these contextual andrelevant customer benefits in a timely manner.Ensuring employee well-beingWhile we took multiple initiatives for customers, we alsoensured the safety and wellbeing of our employees.
