The CII in India

Keith Richards, managing director of engagement, and Sainesh Dar, regional corporate development director, both of the CII, have been meeting key organisations in India to establish the CII's position as a leading influencer in the Indian insurance profession.

In October, Mr Richards and Mr Dar visited the new Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) in Gachibowli. They met with the newly appointed chairman, Subhash Chandra Khuntia, and other senior officials to discuss areas of mutual collaboration and ways the CII can support the insurance industry in India.

The CII representatives were then invited to the Institute of Insurance and Risk Management (IIRM), a school run by the IRDAI, where they were able to meet with students and faculty members, as well as Dr T Narasimha Rao, managing director of the IIRM.
