Varun Dua

Acko Founder and CEO Varun Dua is a serial fintech entrepreneur, and a successful one at that. Before setting up Acko in 2016, he co-founded India’s leading online insurance aggregator Coverfox in 2013 and served as its CEO.

Even before the official launch, investors had put in $30 million in Acko riding on Varun’s track record. The man is often credited with rewriting India’s insurance story in the digital age.

He’s garnered much praise for building better business processes and efficient product management both at Coverfox and Acko. In his own words, “If you really want to change the plumbing, you will have to start manufacturing it.”
