The Hindu Business Line : Aviva in pact with IIMA for training executives

AVIVA Life Insurance Company India Pvt Ltd, the joint venture between Dabur India Ltd and Aviva plc UK, is banking on the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA) to shore up its `next generation leadership' capabilities.

The partnership between the life insurance company and the top B-school seeks to create leaders who will pioneer new business paradigms and continually redefine benchmarks in the insurance sector.

Aviva Life signed a MoU to this effect today with the IIMA where the `accelerated leadership programme' will target Aviva's middle-management executives.

There would be 40 middle-level managers who would be attending the two modules of the programme. The first module is expected to commence in November.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Stuart Purdy, Managing Director, Aviva Life Insurance India, said, "This is one of our key initiatives to provide accelerated development opportunities and exponential growth to our people by leveraging the extensive experience and research capabilities of IIMA."

The tie-up will see the IIMA deploy a structured training initiative for Aviva. The key themes of the programme would comprise, other than a macro understanding of the Indian economy, the regulatory framework and its implications on the life insurance business. While stress would be laid on increasing value for all stakeholders, the Aviva executives are expected to come off the B-school interface with a well rounded business perspective.
