How We Work

Our Advisory Approach

Every TERRANOVA engagement is built on one principle — advisory that is practical, implementable, and always in the best interest of those we serve. We bring institutional discipline to every client, regardless of size or sector.

01

Understand

We begin with a deep, confidential diagnostic — understanding your specific context, constraints, objectives and stakeholders before forming any view.

02

Design

We develop a bespoke advisory framework — not generic templates. Every recommendation is built for your specific situation, regulatory environment and operational reality.

03

Execute

We stay engaged through implementation — advising, course-correcting and supporting execution until outcomes are achieved. We do not disappear after the report.

04

Deliver

We measure success by outcomes — not deliverables. Engagements close only when the agreed objective is achieved or a clear path to achievement is established.

Senior Attention

Every engagement receives direct senior advisory oversight from initiation to conclusion — not delegated to junior staff.

Full Confidentiality

All client information, engagement details and advisory outputs are held in strict confidence. No disclosure without explicit written consent.

Conflict-Free Advice

TERRANOVA holds no product affiliations, insurer tie-ups or distribution obligations. Every recommendation is made solely in the client's interest.

Specialist Service

Insurance Claims Advisory

Expert claims advisory — helping policyholders, institutions and corporates navigate, escalate and resolve insurance claims through professional guidance and regulatory engagement.

What We Do

From First Submission to Final Resolution

Insurance claims — whether health, life or general — are frequently delayed, underpaid or declined by insurers. TERRANOVA brings deep understanding of insurer processes, policy wordings, regulatory obligations and escalation mechanisms — turning complex, stalled or rejected claims into resolved outcomes.

Our advisory covers the entire claims lifecycle — reviewing the original claim, identifying grounds for dispute, preparing structured representations and escalating to regulatory authorities where required.

"Most declined or delayed claims are recoverable — with the right technical approach and the right escalation strategy."

01

Claim Review & Assessment

We review your policy, the claim filed, and the insurer's response to identify technical grounds for dispute or escalation.

02

Documentation & Representation

We prepare a structured advisory note clearly articulating the policyholder's entitlement under the policy and applicable regulations.

03

Insurer Engagement

We advise on the appropriate approach for re-submission, reconsideration requests and formal written representations to the insurer.

04

Regulatory Escalation

Where insurer engagement fails, we guide escalation to the IRDAI Grievance Portal and the Insurance Ombudsman — where third-party advisory is explicitly permitted.

05

Resolution & Recovery

We stay engaged until the claim is resolved — whether through insurer settlement, ombudsman award or agreed compromise.

Health Insurance Claims

Cashless rejections, reimbursement disputes, pre-existing condition exclusions, sub-limits and group health claim issues for individuals, families and institutional policyholders.

Life Insurance Claims

Death claim disputes, maturity benefit issues, surrender value disagreements, policy lapse reinstatement and nominee settlement complications.

General & Asset Insurance

Property claim disputes, commercial asset claim issues and institution-level insurance disputes for corporates and government bodies.

Important: TERRANOVA operates as a professional advisory firm, not a legal representative. We assist in preparing, structuring, and guiding insurance claims from a technical and regulatory perspective, including support on formal grievance escalation where required.

TERRANOVA Perspectives

Insights & Advisory Perspectives

Practical perspectives on insurance, health systems and assets — drawn from two decades of national-level advisory experience across India's most complex regulatory and institutional environments.

Insurance Advisory

Why most bancassurance partnerships underperform — and how to fix them

Bancassurance is India's largest insurance distribution channel — yet most bank-insurer partnerships deliver a fraction of their potential. The reasons are structural: misaligned incentive design, inadequate product fit and poor branch-level engagement. Fixing these requires a rethink of the partnership model.

Insurance Strategy & Distribution · TERRANOVA Advisory

Health Systems

The trust model vs the hybrid model — which is right for your state health scheme?

State governments face a fundamental structural choice: operate through a trust model or engage a private insurer under a hybrid arrangement. Each has distinct implications for fiscal risk, operational control and beneficiary outcomes. The right answer depends on the state's administrative capacity and fiscal position.

Health Systems & Government Advisory · TERRANOVA Advisory

Claims Advisory

Health insurance claims — why they get rejected and what you can do

Claim rejection is one of the most common — and most preventable — experiences in Indian health insurance. Understanding the specific grounds for rejection and the regulatory escalation mechanisms available can turn a declined claim into a fully settled one.

Claims Advisory · TERRANOVA Advisory

Inclusive Finance

Cooperative networks as insurance distribution channels — an underutilised opportunity

India's cooperative sector — comprising over 800,000 registered cooperatives with a combined membership of nearly 300 million — represents the largest untapped insurance distribution opportunity in the country. The challenge is not reach — it is structure, product design and channel management.

Institutional & Inclusive Finance · TERRANOVA Advisory

Regulatory

IRDAI's evolving framework — what insurance buyers and intermediaries need to know

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India has significantly evolved its regulatory framework — with changes touching product design, distribution, claims settlement timelines and grievance redressal. Staying ahead of these changes is fundamental to sound insurance decision-making.

Regulatory Intelligence · TERRANOVA Advisory

Asset Advisory

Insurance-linked financial planning — integrating protection with wealth

For most individuals and families, insurance and investment are treated as separate decisions. The most robust financial plans integrate the two — using insurance as a structured component of long-term wealth creation, estate planning and liability management.
