Nitin Gadkari launches Acuvisor App to increase penetration of insurance products

In a bid to increase penetration of insurance across India’s Tier-II and III towns and cities and in rural areas and create a tech-enabled salesforce, Pune-based Acuvisor Insurance Brokers, has launched its Point-of-Sale Person (PoSP) App that will enable aspiring insurance professionals to get trained and also sell specifically designed insurance products.

The App was launched over a virtual event today by Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Government of India.

“It is my great pleasure to launch this app. Young people in colleges are not taught how to organise themselves as new members of the workforce, especially in sales and marketing. This app besides teaching them insurance as per IRDAI will also teach them business, basic, and etiquettes that will help them throughout their lives,” said, Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Government of India.

The Acuvisor app will aim to create an army of well-trained Point of Sale Persons (PoSPs) in insurance, who would be allowed to sell only specifically designed insurance products. This could result in an increase in insurance penetration into the middle and lower middle class – a sector largely unaware or sceptical about the benefits of insurance and different insurance products.

PoSPs are like insurance agents, but the educational requirement and training of the PoSp is minimum Class-X pass and 15 hours of training. In comparison, an insurance agent requires a minimum educational qualification of Class XII pass and 50 hours of training.

With the launch of the app, Acuvisor aims to expand its geographical footprint across most Tier II and Tier III cities with tech savvy youth living in them, and the rural areas across India with a targeted PoSP salesforce of 100,000. The firm has also tied up with 34 (insurance companies) for insurance products.

Vasant Pandit, Chief Mentor, Acuvisor, said, “We hope to provide an opportunity for many youths looking for a career in sales and marketing to learn basic marketing skills for free, and provide a bridge to take them over the knowledge gap that so many of them face.”

Acuvisor App is designed to help PoSPs get training, earn certification to then sell general, health, and different insurance products. As prescribed by the regulatory authority, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), the app has a mandatory training course of 15 hours that is divided into multiple modules.

Candidates must pass each module of training and if they fail, they repeat each module. After successfully completing the training session, candidates would be certified by Acuvisor as a PoSP and would be permitted to sell a range of life, non-life, and health Insurance Products. The app would also help successful candidates prepare for sales and marketing and will help them identify potential clients, contact them, conduct meetings, and finally sell.

The app will also have a presentation for prospective clients and help them identify their insurance needs. This would enable PoSPs to calculate the Human Life Value and recommend suitable insurance policies for free.

Instant messaging platform Telegram has rolled out a slew of new features in its latest monthly update to improve content management in Groups and Channels, and enhance overall experience for Android and iOS users. The new Protected Content feature will help creators protect the content they publish on Telegram and ensure that it is available only for their intended audience. In order to provide complete control to users over their digital footprint, the Delete by Date feature will enable them to easily find and delete date specific chats from the history.

Telegram pioneered the art of multiple devices with robust security and privacy for users, and now they have added another layer of security to it by providing access to device login details from a specific device and options such as automatically logout due to an inactive session.

Protected Content in Groups and Channels

Group and Channel owners who want to keep their content members-only can restrict message forwarding from their chat, which also prevents screenshots and limits the ability to save media from posts.

To change users’ ability to forward messages open the Group or Channel Info page > Group / Channel Type > Restrict Saving Content.

Delete Messages by Date

With this update, you can clear chat history from a specific day or date range in any one-on-one chat. The app has allowed this feature to allow a free hand accessibility and control to users over their chat data.

To open the calendar, tap the date bar that pops up as you scroll through the chat – then choose which days to clear. Clearing history by date currently only works in one-on-one chats, but messages in any chat can be set to auto-delete one day, week, or month after sending.

Anonymous Posting in Channels and Groups

User are now able to post anonymously on a mass forum such as Telegram Public Channels that allows unlimited participants and Telegram Groups that allows 0.2 million members. These groups are used for everything from discussing big matter like democracy to chatting with fans, hence the platform has added the ability to appear as a channel when sending messages in these chats.

Tap the profile picture next to the message bar and choose one of your channels – the messages you send after that will appear with the name and photo of the channel instead of your personal account. When posting as your channel, you’ll also see the channel name at the top of your message bubbles.

New Ways to Log In via Call

Telegram has now allowed some mobile devices with an option to receive a login call from Telegram and then enter several digits of the phone number that called – instead of getting codes via text message.

Responses to Join Request and Donations to Content Creators

When users request to join a group or channel and its admin responds with a message, users will see which community they are from at the top of the chat.

Bot admins can contact users requesting to join a chat where they are an admin — even if the user didn’t communicate with the bot before. This opens up endless possibilities on the platform: from simply accepting the rules of a group chat before joining, to passing an admission test, to making a small donation to the creators of a channel.

Global Chat Themes

In the last update, Telegram introduced 8 new global chat themes, however they were only available on iOS so far. With this latest update, now Android users would be able to select from these 8 new chat themes for their UI.

Chat Settings have been fully redesigned, giving the new themes center stage. Built by the Telegram Team, every theme has a Day and Night mode, colourful animated background and gradient message bubbles. Chat Settings have been fully redesigned, giving the new themes center stage.

Dedicated Updates for iOS

Text Recognition on iOS 13+

On devices with iOS 13 and above, Text Recognition (Live Text) is enabled for photos in Telegram chats, allowing users to quickly select, copy and search without touching your keyboard. This image recognition is securely handled entirely on your device.

Format Text in Media Captions on iOS: A little bit of bold or italics can add just the right emphasis to a message, and now you can use all text formatting options in media captions as well – including text links.

Redesigned Contact Info on iOS: Contacts, Groups and Channels have updated info pages with a new look in the style of iOS 15.
