Check out the winning teams below, including our first-place champions PWC GigGuards who will present live in the demo theater at Connections 2025!

First Place:
PWC GigGuards

PWC team GigGuards developed a smart, AI-powered insurance solution tailored for gig economy workers, offering affordable, on-demand coverage that activates only when they're working. Using real-time weather and traffic data, the solution dynamically adjusts premiums and provides targeted protections like medical, income loss, and vehicle coverage. Built on Guidewire technologies and the Jutro Digital Platform, it enables insurers to scale usage-based insurance for this fast-growing, underserved market.

Congratulations to Mohammad Tabish, Vedha Sankar, Garima Goel, Sincy Joseph, and Lalitha Chandra Maha Lakshmi Ande!

Second Place:
EY Green Guardians

EY team Green Guardians created ESGverse, a modular solution that integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scoring directly into commercial property underwriting. By combining real-time data from Morgan Stanley Capital International with Guidewire technologies and GenAI-powered recommendations, ESGverse helps insurers evaluate ESG risk, offer personalized improvement insights, and apply ESG-based pricing logic—all within their existing workflows. The result: faster ESG data collation, improved pricing accuracy, and a scalable path for insurers to meet growing regulatory and market demands.

Congratulations to Satavisha Bhaduri, Sundaramoorthi Balasubramaniyan, Pranjal Rastogi, Srimant Das, and Ashok Singaravelan!

By streamlining the entire policy and claims journey, HEXperience empowers insurers to meet evolving expectations and operate more efficiently in a connected, sustainable world.
