Surat, Gujarat - DLF Pramerica Life Insurance Co. Ltd. (DPLI) today formally inaugurated a new branch office in Surat, Gujarat. This follows the opening of an office in Rajkot earlier this month. DPLI plans to double this bench strength over the next few months and build a team comprising of 36 sales managers and branch support staff, led by 3 Managing Partners.
The region is headed by Dinesh Pillai, Associate Vice President (AVP) and Regional Manager for Gujarat.
Announcing this development, Mr. Pavan Dhamija, DPLI's Managing Director and CEO said, "We see immense potential for life insurance business in Gujarat and strongly believe that this region is going to be a key growth driver for us in the coming years. The response to our entry into Ahmedabad and Vadodara last year has been very heartening. In Rajkot too, we are pleased with the initial response we have received from our customers. We believe that with another Branch Office in Gujarat, we will be in an even better position to address the life insurance needs of people residing in this state."
Dhamija further added, "Our strategy is to penetrate deep and strengthen our presence in one region before moving on to the next. We are confident that this mode of expansion is the only way to serve potential customers residing in Tier II and Tier III markets that continue to remain underserved."
