Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, one of India’s leading property and casualty insurance companies, launched an All Women’s Branch today in the city of Pune where the company has its headquarters. As the name suggests, this unique branch will have only female employees and will recruit and train women agents and intermediaries. This is an industry-first for India.
 

Bajaj Allianz aims to empower such women professionals by providing them with a conducive environment that will not only provide them financial independence but will also use the talent pool of women professionals. These professionals are those who had to take a break due to change in their life-stages like marriage, family, shifting of their locations, etc.The initiative includes extending all possible support such as crèche facilities, pick up and drop off, home office and flexible hours etc. which will develop a reasonable support system for them to hold on to their career aspirations.
 

“Women are key drivers for sustainable growth”
 

The all-women branch office was inaugurated by Tapan Singhel, managing director and CEO, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, at the company headquarters in Pune. On the occasion, Singhel said, “Studies show that women are key drivers for a sustainable growth in a developing country. We also believe in it, and the launch of All Women’s Branch is a small step in that direction. We aim to tap the vast talent pool of women professionals who had to leave their professional jobs for their family commitments. We plan to give such women an opportunity to re-start their professional career without disturbing their family priorities.”
 

The branch will start its operations with a team of five women employees. Ten women agents have also been recruited with plans to increase this number to at least 60 agents in this fiscal year. The company plans to roll out similar branches in other metro cities around India soon.
