Nine in 10 respondents to Tata AIG's The Corporate Health Protection Pulse 2026 survey said unexpected medical expenses cause them financial stress. Healthcare costs have overtaken job security and EMIs as the biggest financial worry for corporate India. Nearly seven in 10 said they could sustain themselves for six months or less if they lost their job. While 84% consider additional health coverage important, almost half have no personal health insurance beyond their employer-provided group medical cover (GMC). Only 41% of employees are fully aware of their GMC features. The survey covered 748 corporate employees across eight Indian cities.
