Nepal’s leading online shopping marketplace and a subsidiary of the Alibaba Group, Daraz, has got all 442 of its employees insured against COVID-19 in partnership with NLG Insurance, as confirmed by both companies in a statement.

Following the insurance coverage, any employee working for Daraz will receive Rs 1 lakh as insurance security for one full year in case of contraction related to COVID-19.

This move by the company has been highly appreciated by all the employees and especially those that are involved in the field as Dex Heroes. One such Hero is Sagar, who was also featured in many news articles as the unsung heroes of the pandemic.

We’re following all the safety protocols and have got good response from the customers which is very encouraging. However, it is more encouraging when you know that the company is also well behind you and thinks for your safety.
