Where do I actually buy this insurance without getting stuck with a confusing traditional insurer?

Skip the traditional insurer's branch-office experience, India-focused digital brokers like BimaKavach compare quotes from top insurers in minutes, are built specifically for SME/D2C risk profiles, and can bundle product liability, stock, and transit cover into one conversation instead of three separate agents. Get at least two quotes before you buy anything, since coverage limits and exclusions vary more between insurers than the premium difference suggests, and read the exclusions list as carefully as the coverage list, that's where claims actually get denied.
