Sogaz

What Sogaz does

Sogaz (АО «СОГАЗ», formally «Страховое общество газовой промышленности») is a private Russian joint-stock insurance company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Moscow at Prospekt Akademika Sakharova, 10. Originally created to serve the Russian gas industry, the company has expanded over 30 years into Russia's largest insurance group by premium collections and payouts in non-life categories for 2024 according to Bank of Russia data. Sogaz operates a universal insurance platform spanning compulsory motor liability (OSAGO), voluntary motor (KASKO), property, travel, voluntary health insurance (DMS), life and savings insurance, corporate liability, construction and installation risks, cyber risk, aviation, marine, and reinsurance. Its technology stack centers on a digital insurance platform comprising the shop.sogaz.ru e-commerce portal, a mobile application ('SOGAZ — health and insurance') with an AI health assistant and QR-code-based policy activation, an online claims submission system, and telemedicine integrations with DMS offerings.

Sogaz generates revenue primarily through subscription-based premium income across personal and commercial lines, distributed through a nationwide branch network covering at least 18 Russian cities, an 800-number hotline, online shop, mobile app, and bank distribution partnerships with Gazprombank and VTB. The company serves three primary customer segments: individual retail customers (OSAGO, KASKO, apartment, travel, life), corporate and enterprise clients (Rosatom, VK Group, Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant, Nizhnekamskneftekhim, Siberian Agrarian Group), and government and state entities (Ministry of Defense, MCHS, National Guard, MVD, FSIN, judges). Sogaz holds the highest possible national credit ratings from ACRA (AAA(RU), confirmed nine times), RAEX (ruAAA), and NKR (AAA.ru), with an A- international rating from ACRA. The group structure includes Sogaz-Life, Sogaz-Med, NPK, and Shop.Sogaz as core operating subsidiaries.

The business model combines enterprise field sales for large government and corporate contracts with self-service digital channels for retail volume, supplemented by a telemedical and pharmacy reimbursement layer for health insurance. Distribution is augmented by co-developed products with VTB Bank (DMS 'Pharmacy and Health') and Infosystems Jet (cyber risk), as well as specialized capacity in marine P&I coverage authorized by India's Directorate General of Shipping for Russian oil trade. Sogaz works directly with RNPK (Russian National Reinsurance Company) for large industrial risks above 20 billion rubles requiring business continuity plans, positioning it as the primary domestic risk carrier in segments where Western reinsurers have withdrawn due to sanctions.
