History
Roojai Insurance Public Company Limited began operations on 11 February 1948 under the name Maenam Warehouse Insurance Company Limited, providing general insurance services across various non-life segments. In 1994, following a change in major shareholding to Siam City Bank, the company was renamed Siam City Insurance Company Limited. A decade later, in 2004, the name was shortened to Siam City Insurance.
The company underwent a significant transformation in 2019 when it was acquired by FWD Group, a Hong Kong-based insurance and financial services provider. Post-acquisition, it was rebranded as FWD General Insurance Public Company Limited.[2] This marked its integration into a regional insurance network with expanded capabilities.
In 2022, Roojai Group, a Thai brokerage and insurtech founded in 2016 by Nicolas Faquet, acquired FWD General Insurance Public Company Limited from bolttech Group.[3] Following the acquisition, the company was renamed to Roojai Insurance Public Company Limited, marking its transition into a licensed insurer under the Roojai brand. That same year, Roojai entered the Indonesian market by launching a fully digital car insurance service in partnership with Sompo Indonesia.[4]
Roojai continued its growth in 2024 by acquiring DirectAsia Thailand from Hiscox Group, strengthening its position in the motor insurance market.[5] In the same year, Roojai acquired Lifepal,[6] one of Indonesia's largest digital insurance marketplaces. This strategic move enhanced Roojai's distribution capabilities and solidified its presence in the Indonesian insurtech ecosystem.
