SBI Life Insurance, one of the country's most trusted private life insurance companies, launched the first edition of 'IdeationX'. It is a pioneering initiative that promises to revolutionize the future of the insurance sector.

Purpose of IdeationX:

• This innovative platform aims to sensitize future leaders from B-schools (business schools) across the country about unconventional life insurance solutions. Also to encourage thinking, innovation and presentation which address the growing insurance needs of consumers and contribute towards reshaping the landscape of India's life insurance sector.
