Jio and Allianz to Launch Reinsurance Joint Venture

Jio Financial Services (JFSL) and Allianz Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary Allianz Europe B.V., have entered into a binding agreement to form a 50:50 joint venture in the domestic reinsurance sector. The new entity aims to cater to India’s growing and evolving insurance market.

The partnership will combine JFSL’s strong digital infrastructure and local market expertise with Allianz’s global reinsurance capabilities and underwriting proficiency. The joint venture will draw upon Allianz’s existing presence in India through Allianz Re and Allianz Commercial, as well as its global strengths in pricing, risk selection, and portfolio management. Allianz Re has a legacy of reinsuring risks in India for more than 25 years.

The reinsurance joint venture is expected to support insurers in managing risks more effectively by providing access to robust underwriting and competitive reinsurance capacity. It aims to contribute to strengthening the resilience of India’s broader insurance ecosystem. Operations will commence upon receiving the required regulatory and statutory approvals.

Additionally, JFSL and Allianz have signed a non-binding agreement to explore the formation of equally owned joint ventures in India for both general and life insurance. This potential collaboration will focus on offering comprehensive and innovative protection solutions tailored to Indian consumers.

JFSL envisions enabling every Indian to borrow, invest, transact, and protect through secure, seamless, and digitally driven financial services.

Highlighting the strategic intent, Isha M Ambani, Non-Executive Director, Jio Financial Services, noted that the collaboration is aligned with India’s goal of "Insurance for All by 2047" and aims to expand access to protection solutions through a robust and inclusive insurance ecosystem.

Allianz reaffirmed its long-term commitment to India’s growth and underscored the country’s potential as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. The firm sees the expanding middle class and rising demand for insurance products as key drivers for future value creation.

Oliver Bäte, Chief Executive Officer, Allianz SE, expressed confidence in the partnership, stating that the joint venture will enhance access to world-class financial services for Indian consumers and support the development of a resilient insurance sector.
