The challenges that I incurred were actually in the endowment policy, we were required to do something different and to do to develop a feature that is not inbuilt in the in any endowment policy. So it was very difficult for us to find a very new.Teacher that is not already existing, so we one of the team member, we all found a mental health rider and we thought that.No endowment policy had a mental health rider because in now day, now a days now rhymes. A lot of people go through mental traumas and mental mental health issues and I think that is a rider that would definitely help a product.I think it was we all were determined to create one product and it was a very good teamwork of every member.And other challenges that he faced was.We found out after we found out that we'll have the mental health rider.
