These include roadshows, jogger’s park activities, housing society engagements and health camps. In addition to localising outreach, the Company will collaborate with local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Panchayats, and Self-Help Groups (SHGs), enabling it to educate and onboard individuals in rural and semi-urban areas.
Over 550 Tata AIA branches have already initiated the drive, engaging close to 70,000 agents, employees and customers.
Promoting Financial Literacy
Beyond insurance, Tata AIA is also fostering financial empowerment through Jagruti, a financial literacy initiative where employees volunteer to educate underprivileged communities about essential financial tools. With a structured training module available in Hindi, English, and regional languages, employees are encouraged to share their knowledge, ensuring that at least four individuals in their network gain the confidence to make informed financial decisions. More than 3,300 Tata AIA employees have already volunteered as part of this initiative.
