Addressing the media, Milind Chalisgaonkar, the interim CEO & MD, Bharti AXA General Insurance said, “International Travel for Indians has increased substantially and with it has arisen a need to be better prepared to manage any travel related risks. The distinguishing factor of our offering is that even the most basic version of our travel insurance products offers 11 or more benefits that equip a traveler to manage nearly any problem they may face, he said.
Additionally, our partnership with AXA Assistance ensures that we provide seamless end to end claims assistance globally, thereby leveraging on the strengths of our parent company. We are confident that this product will be well received by the frequent traveler community and help us become the first choice for customers”.
Sharing her views, Rachna Sethi, CEO, AXA Assistance India Private Limited said, “AXA Assistance is wholly owned by the AXA Group, so Bharti AXA GI and AXA Assistance belong to the same parent. Being world leaders in providing best-in-class emergency response and everyday assistance to our customers worldwide, we manage over 30 global 24*7 alarm centers. One of such alarm centers is located in Delhi.
