ManipalCigna expands Northeast footprint, boosts healthcare access with ‘Sarvah’ plan

ManipalCigna Health Insurance has strengthened its presence in Northeast India with the expansion of its award-winning health insurance product, ManipalCigna Sarvah, aimed at improving access to quality healthcare across the region. The product was recognised as Product of the Year 2025 – Health Insurance following a consumer survey conducted by NielsenIQ.

The company said the Sarvah range has been designed to make health insurance more accessible, offering flexible coverage options tailored to the needs of families, including plans with zero waiting period benefits and comprehensive protection features. To support regional expansion, ManipalCigna has scaled its network to eight branches across key Northeast cities and plans to onboard around 10,000 advisors over the next three years, including a focused initiative to empower 3,000 women advisors. The insurer has also partnered with football icon Bhaichung Bhutia to strengthen local engagement around health and financial protection.

In Guwahati, the company’s expansion is expected to deepen insurance penetration as demand for affordable healthcare financing grows among urban households and small businesses. Industry observers note that the increasing advisor network and customer-centric plans could improve awareness and accessibility of health insurance products across Assam’s largest commercial hub.
