The Awards, held in conjunction with the InsurInnovator Connect Asia (IIC Asia) 2025 conference, are a mark of excellence in the insurance industry, celebrating visionary leaders and pioneering organisations that are pushing boundaries and shaping the future of the region's insurance landscape.

PROPEL is much more than just a platform; we're a trusted partner for FA firms to succeed in a competitive market. As it is with most new businesses, the journey hasn't been easy, but our philosophy has always been to work hard, listen to feedback, and continuously improve. These accolades are a recognition of our efforts."

The Technology Integration Excellence Award highlights PROPEL's ability to integrate advanced digital tools into insurance workflows. The Operational Excellence Pioneer Award celebrates PROPEL's success in advancing operational efficiency through a combination of its multi-tenanted platform – designed to ensure that all client firms benefit from all system upgrades and enhancements without incurring additional costs – and its modular support packages for middle-to-back-office services. PROPEL has a team of nearly 100 seasoned professionals to support its client firms in key aspects of their operations, allowing them to scale in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
