Heavy rain. No orders, no income, no safety net.<br> External disruptions cost gig workers 20–30% of monthly earnings — with zero protection. We built VITA INSURATECH at Guidewire DEVTrails 2026 to fix that. Zero-touch parametric insurance that auto-detects disruptions and pays workers instantly. No claims. No paperwork.<br> Why Parametric?<br> Traditional insurance is inaccessible for someone earning ₹600–800/day. Parametric flips it — rainfall crosses a threshold, payout is automatic.<br> 6-Layer Fraud Pipeline<br> Every claim passes through: Zone Match → Sub-Zone Overlap → One-Class SVM → DBSCAN Rings → Sensor Fusion → Work Activity Validation. Final decision by an XGBoost classifier.<br> Dual-source weather (OpenWeather + IMD) + ARCE catches zone anomalies and raises proof thresholds automatically. Reserve buffer sits at 3.2x weekly claims, sustained by liquid mutual fund float returns. Premiums range ₹29–₹59/week with payouts up to ₹2,500 — priced by zone risk, recalculated weekly.<br> 🔗 Live demo: <a href="https://vitainsuratech-zrjj.vercel.app/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://vitainsuratech-zrjj.vercel.app/</a><br> GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/vk130225/VITA-INSURATECH" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/vk130225/VITA-INSURATECH</a><br> Demo video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZekeveiLY98" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZekeveiLY98</a><br> Ranked #20 of 1,781 teams — Diamond Tier ✨<br> India has 15M+ gig workers.
