Bharti Axa General Insurance Company Ltd, a 74:26 per cent joint venture between Bharti Enterprises and Axa Group, has signed a Bancassurance tie-up with Nashik-based Nashik District Central Co-operative (NDCC) Bank.

Moreover, the company is also in talks with two banks in Punjab for Bancassurance tie-up.

Ltd, at a press conference here.

“Presently, the company has Bancassurance tie-up with 13 banks. Our strategy since inception has been of multi-channel distribution and Bancassurance has played a major role in our growth. We are planning Bancassurance tie-up with two more banks in Punjab, shortly,” he said, but avoided giving further details.
