Revolution with India’s Demographic Dividend Mr. Amar Sane’s Mission to Accelerate Insurance for All

Currently serving as the Senior Vice President of HDFC Life, Mr. Amar Sane is a visionary leader with multifaceted skill sets in leadership and corporate governance. To put his vision and his work in progress in perspective – the official policy posture of India and that of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is to get insurance for all citizens by 2047. However, to this end, he aims to step up the efforts of the private insurance players to realize this lofty objective of insurance for all by a decade earlier, at least!

To justify this effort, he rightfully and credibly points to the statistics and official surveys that project the peak demographic dividend of India by 2041. the working age population, as a percentage of the total population, will increase and peak by 2041 and the percentage of elderly will increase post-2041.

Hence, he rightfully believes that this projected insurance revolution (for every citizen) must happen in tandem with the demographic dividend so that India realizes the potential economic benefits of insurance.

His stance reminds us about the government of India’s macroeconomic approach and planning for growth and development. Every year, just before the budgeting, the official economic survey of GOI says that economic growth and development should not only be inclusive but also faster!

His perspectives on the ripple effects of insurance on the broader economy are also interesting to us.

In the age of Artificial Intelligence, automation, and potential job losses, the insurance sector emerges as one of the bright spots in the economy as far as employment is concerned.

He points out that around one million women are employed as insurance agents in India.

Given the low insurance penetration and low density, coupled with the official goal of achieving insurance for all in the near future, the insurance sector looks poised for great strides, and it can also tackle the issue of jobless growth in India to an extent.

Apart from his understanding of the role of the insurance sector in the economy, what is impressive is his leadership skills, knack for corporate governance, and most importantly his awareness of tech trends and willingness to adopt and adapt.

Being a trained life coach and career coach, he leveraged these skills to build teams and led them to deliver results beyond expectations. And his awareness of cutting-edge and new-age technology is truly commendable.

Just to give a glimpse into the possibilities, he gave an example of how blockchain technology and its smart contracts are going to revolutionize settlements and how fraud detection will be made a cakewalk task, thanks to data analytics.

Will AI replace us in Workplace?

Blog / harish

In the not-so-distant past, the rise of computers sparked fears of widespread job loss as they seemed poised to replace all repetitive tasks. After all, computers excel at logic and do not get bored or tired like humans do. But, we know now that computers may have replaced some jobs but have created more too. Software Development and IT is one of the most important fields in the current economy and it did not exist before computers made some jobs irrelevant. So, we thought that computers can take over mundane tasks, humans could focus on more creative endeavors that computers simply couldn’t replicate.
Computers are Now Creative

However, the landscape quickly shifted with the advent of advanced AI technologies like ChatGPT. ChatGPT shattered the perception that creativity was solely a human domain. Capable of generating creative text across a spectrum of formats—technical documents, articles, stories, and more—New AI models showcased their potential to excel in creative endeavors as well. But its capabilities didn’t stop there. AI has transcended beyond text and delved into other mediums, generating photos and even videos from scratch.
With AI demonstrating proficiency in both repetitive and creative tasks, one may wonder about the future of human involvement in the workplace. The short answer is that while AI models have made remarkable strides, they’re not flawless. AI models predict outcomes (text/images/videos) based on learned patterns from training data, but they lack the nuanced understanding and adaptability inherent in human cognition. Humans, with our critical thinking skills, still have an advantage in most job roles.
Think Collaboration, Not Competition!

Instead of viewing AI as a threat, it’s helpful to adopt a mindset of collaboration over competition. As AI continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly replace certain jobs. However, it will also pave the way for the creation of new roles and opportunities. Already, we see a surge in investments and job openings in the field of AI, ranging from data labeling to AI development.
As a software engineer, I often ponder: Will AI replace me? While it’s a possibility in the future, for now, AI complements rather than replaces me at my job. AI tools enhance efficiency, providing better auto-completes for code and finding information. It also assists in document creation and editing—tasks that are often dreaded by engineers. This newfound efficiency affords me the opportunity to focus on more impactful and rewarding work.
Should the day come when AI threatens to replace our jobs, adaptation will be key. Stay curious, continue learning, and remain adaptable—because in a world of constant evolution, relevance hinges on our ability to adapt and thrive alongside AI. By leveraging our skills in novel ways, we can carve out new roles in an AI-driven landscape. However, since AI is far from replacing most of us at present, it’s vital to embrace it as a tool for boosting productivity. Instead of fretting over an uncertain future, focus on the present, where AI is ready to help.

Mrs. Nita Sardana’s Approach to Empowering Underrepresented Communities

As Chief Impact Officer at the Innova Foundation and Vice President of Community Outreach and Corporate Giving at Innova Solutions, Ms. Nita Sardana has masterfully integrated social responsibility into the core operations of a global leader in IT and talent solutions.
In 2013, she and her daughters—Sonia and Shivani—launched the Innova Foundation with an initial focus on making the world of technology a more inviting place for women through partnerships with local organizations. With this deep-rooted belief in inclusion and equality at its core, she has driven the foundation to break educational and professional barriers—particularly for women and other underrepresented groups.
With the help of her vision, the Innova Foundation has prospered by forming alliances with more than 175 charitable organizations worldwide. At home in Georgia, she has been a champion for Women in Technology (WIT), a group that sponsors educational and professional opportunities for women in the technology sector. In 2023, she spearheaded the opening of the Innova EmpowHER Center in partnership with Dress for Success Atlanta, which provides essential resources for women to thrive professionally. Additionally, her extensive collaboration with the Jeannette Rankin Foundation highlights her commitment to transforming the lives of older, low-income women through educational opportunities.
With a global focus, her work extends into her homeland of India, where she has launched significant education and health initiatives. Under her guidance, the Innova Foundation has transformed several primary schools, donating vital resources such as computer labs, digital tablets, and smart boards to enhance the learning environment for thousands of children. Also in the region, the Innova Foundation’s work with The Earth Saviours Foundation and Akshaya Patra showcases a holistic approach to support—balancing basic human needs with environmental sustainability and educational initiatives. In March 2024, the foundation completed a vaccination drive in partnership with Rotary International, which administered vaccinations against cervical cancer to 1,300 girls in Delhi. This program exemplifies Nita’s holistic approach to empowerment—addressing health barriers enables children to focus on getting an education rather than illness.
Her myriad achievements—including her induction into the YWCA of Greater Atlanta’s Academy of Women Achievers and selection as a recipient of Rotary’s Lifetime Woman of Impact Award—are a testament to her effectiveness as a leader. Yet, her impact goes beyond these accolades. As part of her work as VP of Community Outreach and Corporate Giving, Nita regularly creates social programming, such as podcasts, eBooks, and live panel events, to advocate for systemic change through education.
Her story is not just one of success but also inspiration.
