Why am I writing this to you?

This is not my first time applying at Plum.

Since 2021, I've had my eye on joining Plum, I've persistently pursued opportunities to join the team. I have always been inspired by Plum's mission to simplify the complex world of insurance — a cause close to my heart.

It’s been my belief that needlessly intricate systems perpetuate low-trust societies by leaving the naive or less educated unaware and falling behind. To address this issue, during my college years in 2020, I launched Let's Talk Law (
Journey of Let's Talk Law⁠
) out of a desire to simplify the complexities of legal language and make it more accessible.

⁠

With each application to Plum, I've hoped for the chance to join the team. This time, I'm committed to leaving no stone unturned—I've included an assessment along with my application to provide a glimpse into my skills and hopefully secure an interview 🤞

I approach this with humility, but also with a sincere belief in my abilities to contribute meaningfully to Plum's processes. I know I can bring a fresh perspective, a user-centric approach, and a data-driven mindset to the table, and I'm confident I can be a valuable asset to your team!

That said, I would love to be a part of your product team!

Would love to hear from you :)

Wishing you peace,

Have a great day ahead

Apoorva Gupta
