Why Plutas
Income Protection for Gig Workers Through Parametric Climate Insurance
Built for delivery riders, auto and cab drivers, street vendors, and outdoor earners, this parametric insurance solution combines climate intelligence, weather analytics, and risk expertise to provide fast and transparent income protection during extreme weather disruptions.
Daily Earnings Can Vanish
A flooded street or heatwave can stop a gig worker from earning for the entire day. But loan repayments, vehicle costs, fuel credit, and household expenses continue regardless of whether work is possible.

- Heatwave
- Flood

Each gig worker climate insurance policy is triggered by objective, government-verified data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) or ERA5 reanalysis. The trigger is defined at the time of purchase. If the data crosses your threshold at your PIN code, you are paid. No ambiguity. No negotiation.
You can buy climate insurance cover for a single high-risk day, a full heatwave season, or an entire monsoon window. Your policy will be priced at your working PIN code, not a city average.
Know Your Risk. Price Your Cover.
Plutas does not give gig workers a blanket city-level premium. Our AI model calculates the precise probability of your specific trigger event at your working PIN code, your specific risk window, and the daily sum you want to protect. You pay for the risk you actually face and nothing more.
