About Event

National Insurance Academy, Pune, is proud to host its annual event, TATVA: HR Summit 2025, on Friday, 12 September 2025. The Summit brings together forward-thinking leaders, academicians, HR innovators, and young professionals. This year’s summit, titled “Decode, Disrupt, Deliver: Reinventing HR for Insurance 5.0”, will explore how insurance industry 5.0 is set to transform the necessary skill set, organisational culture, and design. The event will offer fresh perspective on managing human capital amid disruption, workforce fragmentation, generational shifts, and hybrid work realities.

In today’s era of AI-driven workplaces, gig-based employment, and increasing digital interfaces, the HR function is undergoing a radical transformation. From reimagining leadership pipelines and redefining productivity to dealing with talent burnout, reskilling urgency, and retention challenges, the insurance sector stands at a pivotal juncture. This summit aims to uncover, realign, and reinvent HR strategies that can build attractive, sustainable and inclusive workplaces for tomorrow.

This year, the summit is designed to bring convergence between key ecosystem players: HR leaders, Insurtech enablers, policymakers, and industry experts, to discuss actionable strategies for:

Strengthening employer branding in high-attrition, high-stress environments.
Driving digital adoption without eroding human connection.
Managing talent in a world of uncertainty and hybrid work fatigue.
Redesigning career paths and learning journeys for the new-age employee.

Hosted amidst the lush green campus of National Insurance Academy, Pune, the one-day event will feature four power-packed panel discussions and a host of networking opportunities and industry insights.

This summit is not just a conversation—it’s a movement towards a more connected, future-ready workforce. So, let’s get ready to decode the future…together….!!
