Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Tapan Singhel, MD & CEO, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, said, “Insurance brings immense positive impact to society but does not get its due recognition. Festivals open the window to come together for discussions and we felt that a festival like GIFI would open a forum to deliberate on important topics like what more the industry can do to take insurance to the last mile, bring more people under insurance protection and showcase what is new in the insurance space. With this in mind, we took the initiative and launched GIFI. Here we had industry experts come and talk about insurance products, services, and a range of topics. We are elated that with GIFI, we set a new Guinness World Records Title for the Largest Attendance for an Insurance Conference. BAGIC has been setting benchmarks not only in India but across the globe, and we will continue this journey of introducing industry-first initiatives while making a difference in society.

GIFI started with the idea of creating a platform that brings together the best in the general insurance industry and celebrates the industry’s contribution towards society’s well-being. The inaugural edition of GIFI was a spectacular success; right from the onset, GIFI received an overwhelming response. The energy and enthusiasm of the speakers, performing artists, audiences and winners were outstanding. We are sure this is just the start; GIFI will only get bigger with time. Let us come together as an industry to continue to add value to the lives of people and create a lasting impact in society and our country.”

The advisors, guests, and other attendees were treated to an unforgettable experience planned for the festival including a remarkable performance by the comedian Sunil Grover and an energy filled musical extravaganza by the renowned music composer Pritam among other spectacular performances. The event had various attractions like an automobile zone featuring manufacturers like Porsche, McLaren Automotive, and Lamborghini. The GIFI event proved to be a success that provided a platform for advisors to be recognized for their contribution to the insurance industry. The company remains dedicated to not just delivering exceptional services to its customers but also contributing to the growth and development of the general insurance industry.
