She led the company’s business transformation project and expanded the company’s operations in tier 2, 3, 4 towns.

"I am delighted to lead IFFCO Tokio, especially as the company enters the 20th year of operations in India," said Rashtrawar.

Like many sectors the general insurance sector has also been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Business leaders many challenges on the path. On one side they have to ensure business continuity on the other they have to take care of their talent needs, their physical, mental and financial well-being. In this tough time of crisis leaders are emphasising on pillars of respect and trust to ensure a good employee experience even in times of crisis.

Rashtrawar believes that IFFCO Tokio with a very strong brand which resonates with trust is well-positioned to take on the emerging challenges in the insurance industry in India. "As it has the best team and excellent business partners and loyal clients. It is a tough time for any insurance company but nothing is permanent and this too shall pass …," she added.

Navigating through this phase of crisis effectively would be the top most priority for Rashtrawar. How she spearheads the team and business towards a better future in these times of uncertainty is to look forward to.
