The Indian insurance industry is facing major regulatory and operational changes driven by IRDAI’s cybersecurity guidance and forthcoming fraud & data-protection mandates effective by April 2026. This 60-minute podcast breaks down what insurers, brokers and intermediaries must do now to meet compliance requirements and improve cyber resilience and how Microsoft technologies can help.
Why this matters?

-
Practical checklist: what insurers and intermediaries must do before April 2026
