As we have started our new financial year 2025-26, the service industry stands on the brink of a technological revolution. Beyond artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and blockchain, another powerful technological force is emergingiXQuantum Computing. Once considered the domain of physicists and academic laboratories, quantum technology is now poised to disrupt business paradigms, especially in complex, data-intensive sectors like insurance.
What does the buzzword Quantum Computing mean?
Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in fundamentally new ways. Unlike classical computers that use bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition. They can also be entanglediXmeaning the state of one qubit can depend on another, even at a distanceiXallowing exponential increases in computational power.
Why do insurers even need to talk Quantum?
The insurance industry is intensively probabilistic and data-driven, making it a natural beneficiary of quantum advances. With petabytes of structured and unstructured data from claims, underwriting, customer behavior, IoT devices, and regulatory filings, insurers face complex optimization problems that classical systems struggle to solve in real-time.
Quantum computing holds the promise of revolutionizing several core functions:

Evaluating the Impact of the New Tax Regime on Motor Accident Compensation Awards
In India, compensation awarded under the Motor Vehicles Act majorly depends upon the income of the deceased (claimant- in case of injury), age and dependency. Since the compensation is calculated based on loss of income after the accident, it increases as the income rises.

A Comprehensive Risk Management Framework for the Insurance Industry
In the insurance industry, risk is not merely a challenge to overcome; it is the very commodity we trade. Therefore, a robust and sophisticated risk management framework is not just a matter of good governance but a core strategic imperative. It is the bedrock upon which an insurer builds its solvency, ensures compliance with a complex regulatory landscape, and ultimately achieves sustainable, long-term growth.

Hence, the salvage dealer would certainly offer a daily prayer: 'Dear God, please bless me with at least 50 salvage cases today and every day'. He wants 50 accident cases every day! There is no harm in his prayer. It is perfectly logical on his part to pray.

Newton's Law - Another interpretation of Proximate Cause
The fire policy we know doesn't cover any loss or damage occasioned by, through, or in consequence of, directly or indirectly, an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or other convulsions of nature. An earthquake is an excluded peril, but loss by theft is an uninsured peril( other than as provided in the RSMDT clause).
