Mumbai: Akhil Gupta, the vice chairman of Bharti Enterprises, has been appointed as the new chairman of Bharti AXA Life Insurance. Gupta has been instrumental in the expansion of Bharti Airtel since its inception, bringing more than forty years of professional experience to the table. He holds a strong track record of conceptualising and implementing transformative initiatives that have had a significant impact on the Bharti Group.
Prior to his role as the vice chairman, Gupta was managing strategic partnerships for Bharti with prominent investors, including Warburg Pincus, Temasek, KKR, Qatar Foundation Endowment, AIF, and Sequoia Capital, throughout his tenure. Additionally, he has been instrumental in the successful public listings of Airtel Africa, Bharti Airtel, and Bharti Infratel.
The move comes at the time when Bharti AXA Life Insurance, now wholly owned by the Bharti Group, plans to shape its strategic direction. The company is restructuring its efforts and developing comprehensive expansion plans, focusing on key markets and customer segments, introducing customer-centric products, and exploring strategic partnerships with distributors such as bancassurance and digital distribution.
