IndiaFirst Life Insurance Company Ltd (IndiaFirst Life), one of the fastest growing private life insurers of the country, became the first Indian life insurance company to get the Gujarat International Finance Tec (GIFT) City’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) Registration.
Elated on obtaining the registration, Rushabh Gandhi, Deputy CEO, IndiaFirst Life Insurance Company Ltd, said, “IndiaFirst Life is proud to be the first Indian life insurance company to receive the GIFT City IFSC registration. We aim to enhance our market presence and capitalize on the customer outreach opportunities at a global level.
