Life Insurance sector in India to grow at 10.5% against global average of 5%: Report
New Delhi [India], May 28 (ANI): Life insurance market in India will grow at 10.5 per cent against a global average of 5 per cent over the next ten years, according to a report by Allianze Global Insurance.
The anticipation for the growth of life insurance in India is due to the growing economic activity in the Indian economy and the policies of the government to promote insurance.
The report stated that most of the growth will be in the life segment, adding that more than half of the additional premium pool will be generated in Asia, with China leading, followed by North America and Europe, but India is likely to grow at a much faster rate.
'While China (+7.8% p.a.) will continue to dominate the region in absolute terms, the real growth champion over the next decade is likely to be India (+10.5% p.a.). As a result, the Indian life insurance market will overtake Japan to become the second largest in the region,' the report added.
To take advantage of the global insurance growth, India has raised the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limit to 100 per cent from the previously allowed limit of 74 per cent.
Government infused Rs. 17,450 crore into PSGICs between 2019-20 and 2021-22 to support reforms, improve efficiency, and drive profitability.
In the previous fiscal year, Indian Public Sector General Insurance Companies (PSGICs) witnessed a major turnaround, with all of them having become profitable again after historical losses.
The report adds that Asia and China will remain the growth engines for the global life insurance business as pension systems continue to be developed against the backdrop of accelerating demographic change.
The Property and Casualty (P&C) Insurance segment in the global insurance sector will grow by 4.5 per cent per year until 2035. The P&C segment will post solid growth rates in almost all markets as the need for more protection is a global phenomenon.
The report adds that benefiting from higher interest rates, life insurance sector may grow at a CAGR of about 5.0 per cent over the next decade. The global growth will boost the demand in developed markets such as West and North America.
The Government of India has been committed to creating strong and competitive Public Sector General Insurance Companies and introduced reforms, including regular key performance indicator-based monitoring. (ANI)

Pradeep Parameswaran elevated as Uber's global mobility head in top-level rejig
Uber has promoted Pradeep Parameswaran , its former India and Asia Pacific head, as the global head of mobility , as part of a broader leadership shake-up at the San Francisco-based ride-hailing giant, ET has learnt. According to an internal mail seen by ET, Parameswaran will join Uber's executive leadership team reporting directly to Khosrowshahi. Mobility heads of various regions, including Asia Pacific, Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and US and Canada will report to Parameswaran. Parameswaran takes over from longtime Uber executive Andrew Macdonald, who has now been elevated to chief operating officer after more than 13 years at the company. This marks Parameswaran's second elevation in just over a year. He was appointed global head of business development in 2023, and also led Uber's enterprise product and a newly formed 'fleets' programme team. He was earlier promoted to head of the Asia Pacific region in 2020 during the pandemic. Parameswaran has played a key role in Uber's international expansion, including its acquisitions of CarNextDoor in Australia (2022) and HKTaxi in Hong Kong (2021). He also serves on the board of FSN E-Commerce Ventures — the parent company of beauty and fashion platform Nykaa — as an independent director. Uber's India and South Asia business continues to be led by Prabhjeet Singh. The development was first reported by Bloomberg, which cited an internal memo from Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi . In the note, Khosrowshahi addressed speculation around his own future, saying, 'I recognise the change might prompt some questions about my future, so I'll be clear: I have no plans to go anywhere anytime soon – other than fly around the globe trying to keep up with our ever-growing footprint.' Indian-origin leadership at Uber This move further expands the presence of Indian-origin executives in Uber's global leadership. In October 2024, Uber appointed Sachin Kansal and Praveen Naga as chief product officer and chief technology officer, respectively, following the departure of Sundeep Jain after a six-year stint as CPO. Uber's delivery engineering head Anirban Kundu also exited to become CTO at Instacart . Kansal has been with Uber for over seven years, while Naga joined the company's engineering team in 2015. Uber has a significant technology presence in India, with over 1,500 employees across Bengaluru and Hyderabad, working on global product and engineering initiatives.

Indian-origin Berkeley graduate sends 34 Cold emails to VCs with keywords AI, Stanford and ex-Palantir, here's what happened
Bhavye Khetan, an Indian-origin UC Berkeley graduate, sparked online debate after claiming he faked a founder persona—using buzzwords like 'Stanford,' 'Palantir,' and 'AI'—to attract 27 responses from 34 venture capitalists. (Image: X/@bhavye_khetan) An Indian-origin graduate from the prestigious University of California, Berkeley recently conducted an experiment which initiated a debate across the startup world. As part of the experiment the Indian-origin student named Bhavye Khetan posed as a fake startup founder and sent some cold emails to 34 venture capitalists . In his proposal he used some buzzwords like " Stanford ," " AI ," and "ex-Palantir'. To his surprise 27 investors responded to his proposal and out of them four also asked for a call. Khetan shared his experience on a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) and called the startup funding as a 'rigged game'. Read Indian-origin Berkeley graduate Bhavye Khetan's viral post here Khetan shared the details of his experiment on X, highlighting how superficial markers of credibility—such as prestigious university affiliations and trendy tech terms—can generate investor interest, even without a product, pitch, or business plan.

This game is rigged in ways most people don't understand,' wrote Khetan in the viral post. Khetan's findings suggest that VCs may be heavily influenced by signals of perceived credibility and alignment with current investment trends, sometimes even over the substantive details of a business idea. The inclusion of "AI" taps into the current technological zeitgeist, while "Stanford" and "ex-Palantir" (referring to the data analytics company co-founded by Peter Thiel, a prominent VC) signal an elite educational background and experience at a high-profile, data-driven firm. His post, which has garnered over 1.2 million views, critiques the venture capital ecosystem, suggesting that flashy credentials often outweigh substance in early-stage funding decisions.

He further urged individuals to rethink how they manage money and avoid consumer-driven habits. Live Events He criticised the Western philosophy of "live for today," calling it a myth theory of consumerism. 'There is a theory in America that live for today, tomorrow never comes. This is an abhorrent theory,' he said, pointing out how such thinking leads to financial insecurity. According to Kedia, nearly 40% of Americans don't have even $1,000 to meet emergencies, largely because saving is not ingrained in their culture.

While countries like the US offer social security as a safety net, Kedia argued that relying on governments is no substitute for personal financial planning . Instead, he advocated for building wealth through consistent investments. He advised young earners to reduce discretionary spending — on parties, fashion, and brands — and redirect that money into savings. 'The first thing to do is reduce parties, spend less on fashion and brands, and save as much money as possible,' he said. In the end, Kedia added: 'Either you can have a lavish young age or you can have a lavish old age. Always keep this in mind.'
