In a rapidly evolving financial services landscape, insurance entrepreneurs are increasingly redefining the role of insurance advisors as full-fledged business owners.
Tata AIA Life Insurance is driving this transformation through Tata AIA AURA, a dedicated platform designed to enable advisors to build sustainable, entrepreneurial careers in insurance.
Empowering Insurance Entrepreneurs for the Future
India is home to more than 31.5 lakh life insurance advisors who play a critical role in securing the financial futures of families. Despite this large advisor base, life insurance penetration remains modest at 3.7% of GDP in FY24.
Addressing this gap, Tata AIA AURA focuses on empowering Insurance Entrepreneurs to expand awareness and access to life insurance, especially in underserved regions, while contributing to the national vision of “Insurance for All by 2047.”
Amit Dave, Head of Advisor Distribution at Tata AIA, said that the company views its advisors as entrepreneurs who go beyond selling policies to building long-term relationships and safeguarding families’ futures.
He added that Tata AIA AURA equips advisors with tools, mentorship, and strategic guidance to grow their businesses while aligning their success with Tata AIA’s broader mission.

From Part-Time Engagement to Entrepreneurial Profession
The insurance advisory role, once perceived largely as a supplementary or part-time activity, has evolved into a scalable and independent career option.
Advisors today manage their own client relationships, schedules, and growth strategies. Supported by structured training, digital tools, and a robust ecosystem under Tata AIA AURA, advisors are encouraged to operate as business owners rather than transactional intermediaries.
The platform enables advisors to shift their focus towards long-term, trust-based relationships with customers, reinforcing the entrepreneurial nature of the profession while strengthening financial protection for families.
Policy Support Strengthening Insurance Entrepreneurship
A significant development supporting the insurance ecosystem has been the introduction of 0% GST on life insurance policies.
This move has improved affordability for consumers and strengthened the position of life insurance as a core financial product, further supporting the growth prospects of insurance advisors as entrepreneurs.
Tata AIA’s Track Record in Advisor Enablement
Tata AIA continues to maintain its leadership position in the life insurance sector, ranking No. 1 in Retail Sum Assured and reporting a 99.4% claim settlement ratio in FY25.
With over 1.5 lakh advisors associated with the company, Tata AIA remains focused on providing consistent support and growth opportunities to its advisor community.
Tata AIA AURA reflects this commitment by offering strategic direction and resources that help advisors set business goals, strengthen client engagement, and create long-term value within their communities.

The company has also been ranked No. 4 globally for women MDRT members in 2024, underlining its emphasis on diversity and inclusion within the advisory ecosystem.
These achievements reinforce the growing role of advisors as key contributors to the future of India’s insurance sector, supported by structured platforms such as Tata AIA AURA.
