Our take
CEO of One Concern, Ahmed Wani once found himself stranded for seven days in a severe flood. This near-death experience brought about the idea of the One Concern platform. A system to help prepare for disasters, locate incidents and react fast to them. Through modelling and simulation, response scenarios can be tested for effectiveness, ensuring the greatest possible resilience and response to a variety of potential disaster situations.
While other companies such as RMS and AIR Worldwide offer similar services, One Concern hopes to provide an enhanced catastrophe management service by utilising natural and hazard science, data from many sources and combining artificial intelligence with human experience, to pinpoint the best route of action.
One Concern continues to grow into new markets. With the aid of a $45 million investment from leading global insurer SOMPO Holdings, One Concern’s latest expansion is into the Japanese market. Since their exciting move into Asia in 2020, One Concern has also partnered with leading advisory and broking firm WTW in the US, further solidifying its global influence.
