Ethos Limited will host an in-person meeting with analysts and institutional investors on September 13, 2026. The event is scheduled from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the City of Time, Emaar Capital Tower in Gurugram.

The interaction will be hosted by Jefferies and involves a store visit. Company officials confirmed that discussions will be based solely on publicly available information. No unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) is intended for discussion during the session.

Meeting Details

The company issued the intimation pursuant to Schedule III, Part A, Para A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015. Priya Grover, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, signed the disclosure dated September 9, 2026.

The company noted that changes may be made due to exigencies on the part of the participant or the company. Any such modifications will be duly intimated.

New research from Ethos reveals that 70% of Americans knew they needed life insurance long before purchasing a policy, highlighting a significant gap between awareness and action. The data, shared by Chief Underwriter Nichole Myers during a media tour for Life Insurance Awareness Month, underscores persistent barriers to coverage adoption.

Consumer Behavior and Delays

The delay in securing coverage is substantial for many households. Approximately 30% of respondents waited nearly a year to get coverage for their family, while another 17% waited more than two years. This procrastination persists despite widespread concern about financial security, with around 67% of people stating they would worry about their family's financial future if something happened to them.

Key life events often trigger the decision to act. Myers identified getting married, expecting a child, buying a house, and losing or watching a loved one age as primary catalysts. These milestones force individuals to confront mortality and reassess their protection needs.

Cost Misconceptions as Primary Barrier

The dominant reason for non-purchase is a misconception regarding affordability. Nearly 40% of people assumed the cost was out of reach. However, Myers noted that 43% said they would have acted sooner if they had known the actual cost. For context, a healthy 30-year-old can secure meaningful coverage for approximately $1 a day. This suggests the barrier is largely educational rather than economic.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between high awareness (70%) and high cost misconception (40%) indicates that market education is more critical than product availability. Since 43% of consumers would have purchased earlier with accurate pricing information, the friction lies in perception rather than access or affordability for the average healthy consumer.

Simplified Application Process

Ethos aims to reduce procedural friction by compressing the traditional 6-to-8-week underwriting process into a 10-minute online application. The platform eliminates medical exams, blood work, and paper documentation, allowing many users to obtain coverage on the same day. Consumers can start the process via ethos.com.
