India
is bound by the majestic Himalayan ranges
in the north and edged by an endless
stretch of golden beaches. It is a vivid
kaleidoscope of landscapes, magnificent
historical sites and royal cities, misty
mountain retreats, colorful people,
rich cultures and festivities.

India
as a country has a rich cultural heritage
and can be likened to a combination
of small countries as each state has
its own culture, cuisine, language,
customs, etc. An old saying in the country
goes like this: "after every 100
kilometers, the language and taste of
water changes."
ITGI-IFFCO
TOKIO General Insurance was incorporated
in 2000 as a joint venture between IFFCO
(Indian Farmers And Fertilizers Co-operative)
and Tokio Marine & Fire Insurance
Co., Ltd. The company is steadily growing
in the Indian market and has a market
share of 4%. We are making every effort
to offer the most suitable services
to our varied customers, who have different
requirements from said diversity. I
joined ITGI in 2003 to handle the Reinsurance
needs of the company. I am very fond
of reading and when time permits, playing
table tennis. I also like to share the
little that I know of the subject.
To
give you a flavor of cultural heritage
present, I present to you The Taj Mahal,
a jewel of Muslim art in India and one
of the universally admired masterpieces
of the world's heritage, an immense mausoleum
of white marble, built in Agra between
1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor
Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. |
