I feel truly grateful to GOD and very honored to be appointed as the Secretary General of the General Insurance Council by the Executive Committee (EC). The Council has been in the forefront working tirelessly over the years to facilitate the healthy growth of the non-life insurance industry in a fair and equitable manner without losing sight of the interests of the policyholders.  

The General Insurance Council outlines its vision and mission in response to the evolving insurance landscape in India after the establishment of the Regulatory authority. The vision is to create a sustainably profitable and growing non-life insurance industry that is trusted by society, supported by a favorable policy environment, and guided by the Council as a strong, authoritative collective voice.

 The mission of the Council is to provide leadership on issues affecting the industry’s strength and reputation, and to influence government, regulatory, and public policy decisions for the collective benefit of the sector. This is achieved through proactive analysis, advocacy for regulatory improvements, responding to industry-related initiatives, contributing to public policy, promoting awareness on general insurance through a sustained multi-media campaign, promoting a positive public image, and guiding the industry on reputation management. The Council also maintains a skilled Secretariat and offers value added services that support its core objectives.

The insurance industry has been an integral part of the Indian economy, and it is the industry’s commitment to pool all its collective resources to attain the vision of “Insurance for All by 2047”.
