We are here for sharing and caring the innovative ideas. We go a long way to be not only the financial advisors but also to add glory to the lives of our clients. Innovation is something that we have to implement now, to change the way of working for designing the present in better way for bright future.

Ask yourself: LIRT convention has been designed to equip you for facing the challenges and find out your path gracefully by using Innovative methods.
My friends! We are glad and privileged that we have the speakers with us who specialize in various aspects of Insurance and financial products; it is sure that they will help us to ignite the flame of Innovation from within us.
Talking you briefly on the road LIRT has traveled since 1988 when idea was mooted in Hotel Taj Mansingh-New Delhi. It was resolved to set up Life Insurance Round Table. The Convener Mr. P.S. Kochhar(our papaji) foresee the future for training and helping the Insurance Advisors in achieving their goals. As you all know LIRT is holding its Annual Convention with the sole moto of education and parting knowledge with each other. We invite overseas speakers and learn from them and keep updated with the International Insurance and financial market. It was the unique and unmemorable event when the legendary figure Mehdi Fakherzadeh and Tony Gordon both have addressed LIRTians in 18th Convention at Agra.
We have crossed membership more than 300 which was started with 28 members in 1st convention. We are well equipped with all infrastructure. This is surely the result of team work, co-operation, commitment and prefect coordination among all committee members Piyush Vora, Amit Shah, Raghunath Godbole, Joseph Menezes and many more..
The team work under the guidance of Past Presidents’ advisory committee Kochharsab, Bharat Purohit, J. P. Sharaf, AtulKumar Shah, B.B. Goel, K.D. Agarwal, Anand Goel, Zarsis Udhnawala, Zeenat Jagani, Shyam Sunder Palod and our CEO Nirupama Kamdar.
LIRT has its members all over India; I am an agent since 1974 and 6 times MDRT qualifier, regular attendee of LIRT since 10 years. You and I have relationships with one another so that when our clients’ needs expand or move from one location to another, we have LIRT members we can introduce them to.
The theme “Innovation” will be spoken of and deliberated by all speakers to add value to our life, navigating ourselves and achieving what we ought to.
I am sure all participants will be benefited from presentation of speakers and interaction with them as well as among themselves. I wish the convention Grand Success and look forward to Next year’s convention with large no. of Attendees and a Bigger Venue.
Thank you.
