Policybazaar was recently selected as a project partner by Harvard Business School (HBS), joining a prestigious cohort of 156 global organizations across 14 countries and 14 cities. As part of this collaboration, Policybazaar hosted a team of HBS students in Delhi NCR for a week-long immersive engagement under the school’s required FIELD Global Capstone course.
The partnership highlights Policybazaar’s growing global recognition and reflects its commitment to innovation, customer-centric thinking, and the future of digital financial services. During their time in India, the Harvard students engaged deeply with Policybazaar’s leadership and on-ground teams. The collaboration allowed them to first-hand experience the dynamic and evolving landscape of India’s fintech ecosystem.
During their visit, the students had the opportunity to interact closely with Yashish Dahiya, who took them through Policybazaar’s journey, from its founding vision and early sacrifices to key milestones in scaling the business.
“Working with Harvard Business School underscores Policybazaar’s commitment to fostering innovation and excellence,” said Yashish Dahiya, Chairman & Group CEO, PB Fintech.
“Through direct engagement with our teams, the students gained a nuanced understanding of the business—insights that extend well beyond the confines of a traditional classroom and reflect the value of immersive, real-world learning experience in Delhi NCR,” said Mr. Dahiya.
The FIELD Global Capstone is designed to strengthen students’ ability to navigate diverse business environments. In the months leading up to their arrival, the students worked closely with Policybazaar remotely, before traveling to India to conduct field research, engage with consumers, refine their strategies, and present final recommendations to senior management. Their mandate: to conceptualize and propose impactful innovations in products, services, or customer experiences for the Indian market.
This hands-on experience also aims to cultivate contextual intelligence and sharpen team dynamics, preparing future leaders to deliver results in real-world, high-impact scenarios. Harvard Business School credits its Project Partners as vital enablers of this educational model.
“We are extremely grateful to Policybazaar and all the FIELD Global Capstone Project Partner organizations for all they do on behalf of our students,” said Professor Joe Fuller, Faculty Chair for the FIELD Global Capstone. “The students benefit immeasurably from this experience and we hope the partner organizations do as well.”
