Dhan Bets Big on Insurtech Buying Greenlife Insurance to build a direct consumer insurance empire

Greenlife’s team and ops are being moved to Mumbai
Dhan’s parent Raise Financial Services is accelerating its full-stack fintech ambitions with a cash-and-stock acquisition of insurance broker Greenlife Insurance (GIBL). The deal, terms undisclosed, will bring GIBL’s 25-member team to Mumbai and is paired with a $15 million investment to build a direct-to-consumer insurance business. Raise says it’s a natural bridge from financial planning to recurring trust, leveraging GIBL’s offline presence across 50 East and Northeast cities plus B2B relationships, while the risk is overbuilding amid multiple acquisitions.
