India was particularly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with reports that figures understated the true scale in the country. We explore this by analysing the impact of the pandemic from the perspective of the Indian group market. The session includes:

  • An introduction to the different scheme types in the Indian group market
  • State of the group market before Covid
  • Discussion around why and how India was so impacted by Covid
  • The experience of scheme types and how this compares to the population
  • The data challenges in identifying Covid as the cause of death
  • A discussion on the likely future direction
