Star Health stands out among other standalone health insurers (SAHI) in terms of size, strong growth rates (32% Gross Written Premium CAGR over FY18-21) and better operational performance which is reflected in pre-Covid numbers for the company (~93% combined ratio). The valuations commanded by Star Health at ~5.5x FY21 Mcap/GWP, are in-line with recent deals in the SAHI space and appears fair considering its positioning.
