Allianz Group Asia Pacific
Singapore / Delhi, Mar 12, 2007
Bajaj Auto & Allianz have signed their third joint venture partnership, 'Bajaj Allianz Financial Distributors Ltd.', encouraged by the tremendous performance of the Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance & Bajaj Allianz General Insurance and by the strong trust of consumers in the ‘Bajaj Allianz’ brand.

This joint venture is spurred by the demand from the customers across the country, specifically from non-urban markets, to also provide other consumer financial products like mutual funds, credit cards, home loans and personal loans at their doorstep, as we have provided simple, flexible and value-for-money insurance products and services throughout India.
