PRESS RELEASE:

 

FIVE SENIOR EXECS QUIT TATA AIA LIFE INSURANCE

NOVEMBER 13, 2012

 

Tata AIA Life Insurance Co Ltd (formerly Tata AIG Life Insurance) is seeing attrition at senior management levels. According to sources, five senior management executives are in the process of leaving the organisation.

 

The five, according to industry sources, are Mitali Dalal, senior vice-president; Vikas Bagga, senior vice-president & head of north zone; Natasha Joshi, senior vice-president & head of south zone; S Bharat, vice-president & head of strategy; and M Anand, vice-president.

 

Tata AIA Life Insurance has 13 people at the senior vice-president level.

 

However, the company downplayed the development. “Like every growing organisation, people movement is a regular part of Tata AIA Life Insurance,” the company said in reply to a questionnaire sent by Business Standard.

 

Tata AIA Life Insurance has about 4,000 employees on its rolls. It recently appointed Mukesh Dhawan as deputy CEO and chief distribution officer. Dhawan is responsible for creating and implementing new strategies in marketing, product development and distribution.

 

In 2010, the private life insurer had reduced headcount by 27 per cent to achieve profitability. It saw a 33 per cent reduction in headcount in 2010-11, too, compared to 2009-10. The company had, then, said this was because it was reworking its business model to suit the regulations which came into force in September 2010. As part of this strategy, the company did not fill all the positions that became vacant mostly due to natural attrition.

 

In September 2010, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority capped the charges and commissions on unit-linked products (Ulips), and as a result of which, the average commission in Ulips as a percentage to premiums collected fell to four per cent in 2011-12, from 10 per cent in 2009-10.

 

The company has also seen a drop in premium collection by 44.3 per cent during April- September 2012, compared to the premiums collected during the same period in 2011. According to Irda data, the company collected Rs 2618.000 Millions premium for the April- September 2012 period. The private life insurance industry also saw a drop in new premium collection by 5.7 per cent in April-September 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.

 

TATA AIA LIFE SEES CHURN AT TOP

MARCH 21, 2014

 

Tata AIA Life Insurance is seeing a churn at the senior management in recent months. It has a new deputy chief executive officer, apart from a CEO-designate who’s joined from AIA Sri Lanka.


M Suresh, the current managing director and CEO, had decided to move on and is expected to quit the company by the end of this month. Shah Rouf, who is CEO of AIA Sri Lanka, is the designated successor. Meanwhile, Mukesh Dhawan, who was deputy CEO and chief distribution officer (CDO), has moved to AIA in a global role and his position filled by Ravi Vishwanath.


All CEO appointments have to be approved by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority. Hence, Tata AIA’s would also be subject to this.


Shah Rouf has about 18 years experience in the sector. He was with Aviva NDB Insurance in Sri Lanka, before it was acquired by AIA Group in December 2012. He was retained in the new AIA team.


Late last year, Chief Investment Officer Saravana Kumar had quit the company. His position was filled by Harshad Patil last month. Also, Vivek Mathur, the chief financial officer, had quit to join  CignaTTK Health Insurance as its CFO.


In October 2012, Tata AIA had appointed Dhawan as Dy CEO and CDO. He had joined from AIA, where he was the group’s regional chief agency officer, responsible for the Singapore, Malaysia, China and Taiwan markets. Dhawan was responsible for creating and implementing new strategies in marketing, product development and distribution, a role to be essayed by Vishwanath presently.


The company in its response said, "Tata AIA Life has long been known as an ideal training ground for the industry because of its strong processes. We have hence had some senior executives moving on as part of their natural career progression. We are very optimistic about the prospects of the Life Insurance sector and are gearing up as an organization to take ourselves to the next level of growth and development."


Tata AIA Life has seen a 16.2 per cent reduction in total premiums for the April-December 2013  period and a 11.9 per cent drop in new business premiums for the period compared to the same span a year before. The life insurance sector saw a 22.4 per cent rise in new premiums for the same period this year compared to last year.

The company is a joint venture between Tata Sons and AIA International, where Tata Sons and its nominees hold 74 per cent; 26 per cent is held by AIA International, the maximum permissible in the sector under the current foreign direct investment norms.
