As a result, general insurers are witnessing a growing demand for insurance plans, investment plans, pension plans and child insurance, car and bike insurance, health insurance, etc. This has created more demand for one-stop solution providers, who can offer a gamut of insurance services at one go, observes a top official at Insurejoy.com, a recently launched startup.
