Carrot General Insurance Corp., South Korea’s leading digital insurance carrier, has announced a strategic partnership with Lippo General Insurance (LGI) of Indonesia to develop a Behavior Based Insurance (BBI) solution, marking its initial steps towards becoming a global insurtech leader. This collaboration highlights Carrot’s technological prowess and its ability to generate new revenue streams beyond traditional underwriting income in international markets.

Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, Baseline Fitness, LLC, a prominent Planet Fitness franchise division, has been acquired by Mayfair Capital Partners, a division of Oxford Financial Group, Ltd. The acquisition, which saw Freeman Spogli and Baseline’s management team retaining significant minority equity stakes, underscores the management’s ongoing commitment to leading the company forward.

“This business partnership demonstrates Carrot’s commitment to relentlessly pursuing growth and development beyond domestic borders,” stated Moon Hyo-il, CEO of Carrot General Insurance. The CEO’s vision for Carrot is not just about expanding the company’s geographical footprint but also about revolutionizing the insurtech sector with data-driven solutions.

In 2017, Freeman Spogli partnered with Baseline when it had 22 clubs. Under this partnership, Baseline expanded its reach significantly, opening its landmark 100th club earlier this year. This expansion not only signifies Baseline’s growth but also its position as a leading Planet Fitness franchisee.

Carrot’s introduction of Pay-Per-Mile auto insurance and the Members-Auto service in South Korea showcases its innovative approach to insurance, leveraging approximately 300 million kilometers of driving data monthly for advanced analytics. This data-driven methodology is at the heart of Carrot’s partnership with LGI, aiming to introduce a BBI product in Indonesia that rewards safe driving and offers precise risk assessment for drivers and fleets.

Indonesia, with its vast population and ongoing discussions about mandating auto insurance, presents a fertile ground for Carrot’s expansion. Carrot’s foray into the Indonesian market is a calculated step towards tapping into Southeast Asia’s burgeoning auto insurance market, promising growth and new business opportunities.

Carrot’s strategic partnership with LGI represents a pivotal moment in the insurance industry’s evolution towards more personalized and data-driven services. By focusing on behavior-based insurance solutions, Carrot is not only tapping into new markets but is also setting new standards for the global insurtech industry. This move could redefine how insurance products are developed and delivered, making them more aligned with individual behavior and risk profiles.
