Hello Naman PB Fintech which houses Policybazaar, Paisabazaar and PB Partners(PoSP Channel) has multiple streams of income . Since they have an insurance brokerage license, they get a cut on insurance premiums as well as a commission on aggregation of financial products. Insurance companies and lenders outsource a bunch of services to PB (Including call centers , onboarding, and other after-sales support),. A large chunk of revenues also comes from online marketing and lead-generation services. Please check Page no. 48 on this annual statement to get a clear breakdown of revenues. https://www.pbfintech.in/pdf/PB-Fintech-Consol-Financials_FY-2021-22-Signed.pdf
