Covers health insurance, personal accident and accidental death, and mobile phone damages

MUMBAI, 02 MAY, 2023 (GPN): Reliance General Insurance, one of India’s leading Private General Insurance Companies, announced today that it has partnered with Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience delivery platform to cover its Delivery Partners with a tailored Insurance Protection plan. Reliance General Insurance is providing a unique health insurance product along with personal accident and mobile phone insurance coverage to Swiggy’s fleet of 3 lakh delivery partners across the country through Gallagher Insurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd. 

The insurance coverages offered by Reliance General Insurance come loaded with several essential benefits. With the Group Mediclaim policy, Swiggy’s delivery partners can avail OPD treatment, medical hospitalization, maternity cover, and many more benefits as per the eligibility criteria of the master policy.
