Our take
Nayya helps employers promote smart benefit choices amongst their workforce. Nayya's tools use AI and data science to process consumer data points, claims data and medical carrier information in order to return benefit recommendations and automated healthcare claims assistance to the end-user.
Nayya is filling an innovative market niche: whilst 85% of employees would welcome help selecting the right benefits, companies often struggle to offer it. Nayya is responding to this demand by securing partnerships with leading national employers, tech partners, and insurance carriers/brokers to help employers maximize the results of their health benefits spend by ensuring employees are getting the insurance they need.
Nayya has secured a high degree of investment since its founding, which the company is using to expand its software features, aiming to tap the freelancer and sole trader market. It's expanding further into other benefits that companies offer their workers, for instance in life insurance and mental health services. With a rapidly growing customer base, numerous partnerships and its annual revenue tripling over 2022, Nayya looks comfortably set to stabilize its market-leading position in the years ahead.
