WTW international head Pamela Thomson-Hall said: “The Covid-19 crisis has underscored the vital role of risk management and insurance in protecting and strengthening businesses and communities’ resilience to pandemic shock in emerging markets such as India.

“We are committed to the Indian market and see we can play a significant role to help raise the under-penetration of insurance and close the protection gap that the country needs.”

WTW head of India Rohit Jain said: “WTW already has a significant presence in India and this acquisition is another important milestone towards bringing our clients the best-in-class products and solutions, technology and unprecedented insight for sound risk-based decision making.”

In August this year, WTW brokered a deal to acquire Israel-based insurance broking and consultancy business Leaderim.
