    NTUC Income is making its first foray into 3 South-east Asian markets with the launch of digital-first micro-insurance Droplet.

    Droplet is a first-of-its-kind micro-insurance that covers commuters against price surges on ride-hailing platforms on rainy days. It was first launched in Singapore in 2018 in response to a consumer pain point.
