Our take
Nirvana's insurance and risk management offerings are built to transform the commercial insurance industry, which is worth over $850 billion. It delivers predictive models that use real-time data and automation to generate instant quotes.
Targeting commercial fleets, the platform is powered by sensors that are already onboard most heavy trucks. This means that Nirvana's offering is accessible without vast onboarding fees, giving clients of all sizes the opportunity to protect themselves and improve customer safety.
While its initial focus is fleet insurance, Nirvana's offering is uniquely built to be highly scalable should the company expand into new verticals. It has invested substantially in product optimization to further its ability to accurately assess risk, and is an attractive option for companies who want to streamline what has been a traditionally slow process.
