What Kenindia Assurance Company does

Kenindia Assurance Company Limited is a privately held Kenyan insurance company founded on December 6, 1978, through the merger of Indian insurance companies operating in Kenya with backing from local Kenyan business elite. The company is headquartered at Kenindia House on Loita Street in Nairobi and operates across Kenya through a branch network, reporting Gross Written Premium of KES 11.1 billion for the year ending 2022. It is regulated by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) of Kenya and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification.

The company offers a broad multi-line insurance portfolio: 18 general insurance products spanning motor, property, fire, marine, engineering, bonds, liability, and specialty risks; 13 life insurance products including endowment, term assurance, whole life, savings, and education plans, plus a corporate Staff Retirement Benefit scheme; and three health insurance products (Corporate Health Plan, Health Save Plan, Individual/Family Plan). The core technology is an insurance administration platform with an ePortal (eportal.kenindia.com) that supports online policy management, claims filing, and customer self-service.

Kenindia's business model is a traditional subscription-recurring insurance premium model. Revenue is generated through annual and periodic premium collections across individual and corporate customers, distributed via direct branch sales, a field sales force, the ePortal, and digital marketing channels (website, Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with separate annual subscription cadences for individual and corporate products. The company employs 251-500 staff and serves both individual consumers and enterprise clients across Kenya.
