Mumbai: The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has raised concerns over a surge in merger, acquisition, and demerger activities in the insurance distribution space, cautioning brokers against adopting sharp practices to solely inflate their valuations. "We have been witnessing record activity among brokers and other distribution intermediaries," said Satyajit Tripathy, member (distribution), IRDAI, at an Insurance Brokers Association of India event. "While this is fine by all means, I must add a word of caution that with increased growth being seen, we need not be adopting what we call as sharp practices to increase valuation, get listed, and to do business in a way, which may in the long run prove detrimental to the whole ecosystem." The inflow of private equity capital into insurance broking has risen about 20x between 2011-17 and 2018-24 to reach $4.8 billion. Indian insurance broking has 735 licensed brokers of which the top 36 drive over 85% of revenue, implying a long tail of brokers that have not scaled, according to a report by IBAI and acknowledged the significant value addition brought in by brokers to the industry in the last 4-5 years, particularly the event, the government urged over 700 insurance brokers to deepen insurance reach across the country and called on brokers to ensure access to affordable and appropriate insurance solutions for every Indian whether self-employed, salaried, agricultural, or industrial. "There is a vast untapped potential in Type 2 and Type 3 cities, agricultural and rural zones, in unorganised sectors, and among small businesses," said M Nagaraju, secretary, Department of Financial Services.

World War 3 imminent? Experts say nuclear attack against Russia may take place from..., not US, Ukraine
Representational Image Russia-Ukraine war: Barely a month after the Israel-Iran war raised fears of a global, another major conflict threatens to trigger World War 3 as reports in the Russian state media claim that NATO countries led by the United States are allegedly preparing to launch a large scale nuclear attack on Russia. What do the reports say? Russia media reports, citing experts and analysts close to the Kremlin, claim that NATO is preparing for a major conflict with Russia, amid heightened tensions between Moscow and the US-led Western powers due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Experts believe that such a conflict could potentially trigger World War 3 as Russia's allies like China would step in military, resulting in a global conflict. Its believed these reports are designed to prepare the Russian citizens for a major war with NATO, including a nuclear conflict. Why Russia-Ukraine war could trigger World War 3? Reports circulating in government-affiliated news outlets, including Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP), have warned of an impending nuclear war with NATO, claiming that the West, including the US, Britain, and their European allies, could launch a large-scale war on Russia by the end of the current decade. Russian experts believe that war is part of larger strategy to balkanize Russia, which would inevitably trigger a third world war as Moscow's allies would join the battle. Notably, General Christopher Donahue, commanding general of the US Army Europe and Africa, has publicly talked about attacking Russia's Kaliningrad region, which is surrounded by NATO countries, and stands isolated from the rest of Russia. Moscow issued a stern response, stating that it would take any and all measures to to protect Kaliningrad, including deploying nuclear weapons. Where would the attack be launched from? According to Russian experts, NATO could use Finland, which recently joined the alliance, as a launchpad for attacking Russia, even as Moscow's SVR intelligence service has accused the US-led military grouping of converting Moldova into into a military base, which could lead to a direct confrontation between NATO and Russian forces in Eastern Europe. Russian Military commentator Zimovsky warned that any attack on St. Petersburg or Kaliningrad would lead to a wider war, while former President Dmitry Medvedev asserted that a World War 3 situation has already arisen due to the US and Europe meddling in the Russia-Ukraine war.
