Digit Insurance Managing Director and CEO Jasleen Kohli has won the Woman Leader of the Year Award at the 30th Asia Insurance Industry Awards (AIIA) 2026, held in Singapore. Organised by Asia Insurance Review, the awards recognise achievements across the insurance industry.
This marks Kohli’s second consecutive win in the category. She previously received the Woman Leader of the Year title in 2025 and was a finalist in 2024.
Recognition for Digit Insurance’s Technology-Led Growth
According to the award citation, Kohli was recognised for leading Digit’s growth from an early-stage insurtech company to one of India’s youngest publicly listed insurers.
The jury highlighted the company’s use of technology across its operating model, with real-time data informing decisions related to pricing and policy terms. This approach has helped Digit make faster business decisions while simplifying insurance processes for customers and partners.
Under Kohli’s leadership, the company has focused on technology, simplicity and customer experience as key parts of its business strategy.

Digit Insurance also secured recognition in the company award categories at the 2026 edition. It was the only Indian insurer shortlisted in a company award category this year.
