“We are optimistic and support to Qoala.”
As an insurtech platform targeting the retail segment, Qoala offers insurance products for cars, bicycles, homes, and health. Its performance has managed to grow 30 times since it received Series A funding in April 2020.
The total sales force registered with Qoala also increased sharply to 50,000 people with a network of more than 50 insurance companies. Qoala also provides micro-insurance products for Traveloka, Redbus, Dana, JD.ID, Shopee, Kredivo, and Investree.

In Thailand, Qoala’s business has also tripled after it acquired FairDee, a local insurance brokerage firm, in February. “We will invest this new funding to expand Qoala’s reach in Southeast Asia,” said Harshet Lunani, founder and CEO of Qoala.
Eurazeo, previously funding insurtech company WeFox based in Germany, agreed to lead the Series B funding for Qoala because it was considered different from other insurtech companies. “We are optimistic and support Qoala,” said Tara Reeves, the company’s investment manager.●
