At the event, Mr. Boda emphasized that success in todays insurance market requires brokers to be more than just middlemen. He called for a new breed of “BROKERPRENEURS” who combine industry knowledge with an entrepreneurial spirit. These brokers, he said, will be the ones who not only navigate complex issues but also actively seek out and create new opportunities.

Mr. Rohit Boda further delved into the evolving landscape of the insurance sector, emphasizing the crucial need for industry professionals to cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit. He highlighted the increasing importance for brokers to move beyond their traditional intermediary roles and embrace proactive problem-solving, innovation, and opportunity creation. This, he stated, is the key to navigating the ever-changing dynamics of the market and ensuring long-term success.

“It was indeed a pleasure to be here today at NIA and address a topic that is very close to my heart. The insurance industry is at a pivotal point. Those who adapt to the changing landscape and embrace an entrepreneurial approach will be the ones who thrive. BROKERPRENEURSHIP is not just a buzzword; its a call to action, a mindset shift that has the power to redefine the future of insurance,” – Mr. Rohit Boda, Group Managing Director, J.B.Boda Group.
