Q1: Can you briefly introduce yourself as well as the Polkacover?
GUEST:
Sure. Anthony & I have been based in Dubai (UAE) for over 15 years.
Previously I have worked with multinational insurance companies (AIG & Allianz) in a senior leadership role building products and partnerships in the Middle East and Africa Region. In my last role, I headed the Retail Insurance industry for Policybazaar (an insurance company valued at over $ 1 billion with VC partners like SoftBank & Tencent) reporting to the CEO. . My experience has revolved around developing, building, and managing large-scale B2C insurance products & markets for more than 10 years.

HOST:
Q2: Polkacover is known as a Parachain of the Polkadot ecosystem can you tell us the benefits it brings as well as the interoperability? In your decision to choose Polkadot is not another ecosystem like Wanchain, Cosmos … etc?
GUEST:
We initially had built a POC on Ethereum a year ago, however, have migrated development to Polkadot due to Ethereum’s limitation of scalability.
With congestion on the network and rising gas fees, Ethereum was not meeting our requirements to build this platform if we needed to scale. Cosmos was also considered and is a great ecosystem, however, our development team found that working on Polkadot would be the right way forward as Polkadot was able to provide high scalability because a shared set of validators will be used to secure transactions on multiple blockchains. New blockchains that join Polkadot can tap into this security model from the get-go making it a lot easier quickly build our parachain solution.
HOST:
