Seasoned Insurance Expert, Vishal Bhave Joins Praxis Advisory Network

Mumbai, India, December 20, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Praxis Global Alliance, the global management consulting and advisory firm is pleased to announce that after a career of over two decades across various businesses in financial services, Vishal Bhave has joined as a Domain Leader in the Financial Services Practice. Vishal has played leadership roles across various life, health, and general insurance companies including ICICI Prudential, Apollo Munich, and TATA AIG.

The Insurance industry is going through profound change, led primarily by technology, and changing customer preferences. COVID-19 has impacted key operating parameters of the industry including distribution channels, claims, and customer service, accelerating the adoption of digital modes. The company expects these trends to further accelerate, driven by concerted action by insurers as well as Insurtech players. Praxis is excited, therefore, to have the benefit of Vishal’s rich experience and look forward to working with him to deliver tangible, sustainable value for our clients.

Vishal will be focusing on the insurance segment, and work with clients on issues ranging from sales and distribution strategy, performance management, digital transformation, business planning, and product management.

“I am excited to be associated with Praxis and the platform it provides to add real value to clients through its unique execution focussed consultancy model. The Insurance sector is at the cusp of real change. The pandemic has presented an opportunity to transit the sector from 'push' towards 'pull' and from 'customer-centricity' to 'customer obsession'. Only those who show humility in accepting the unknowns and agility in response will succeed. I look forward to being part of this exciting journey,” commented Vishal Bhave, Domain Leader, Financial Services, Praxis Global Alliance.

“The Indian Insurance sector is on the cusp of a major transformation led by technology, enabling regulations, and growing customer appreciation for protection products. Praxis is excited at the opportunity of working with Vishal and taking our insurance practice to new heights,” said Shishir Mankad, Head, Financial Services Practice, Praxis Global Alliance.
