## Resource

Buying insurance used to mean paperwork, meetings, and endless signatures. Today, it can happen in just a few clicks. But when it comes to protecting your family's future, does convenience come at the cost of confidence?​ In this episode of The Policy Project Podcast, host Malavika sits down with Atul Kathuria, Business Head, Life Insurance at Policybazaar.ae, to unpack the debate around buying insurance online versus offline, the role of trust in financial decisions, and why more customers in the UAE are choosing digital journeys without giving up the reassurance they need.
