HDFC ERGO General Insurance launches #KaroSabkoInsure film to drive the agenda of financial inclusion in India
Mumbai: HDFC ERGO General Insurance, India’s leading non-life insurance company, has launched a unique initiative to promote insurance to the last mile, through a film – #KaroSabkoInsure. Anchored around the idea of love and care, this film nudges individuals to spread awareness on health insurance among unsung heroes and population from vulnerable section of the society like house-helps, drivers, gardeners, security guards, cooks, etc.; who play an instrumental role in making our lives convenient and comfortable.
The film features a male protagonist, who introduces his house-help, whom he fondly calls ‘didi’, to an insurance plan of HDFC ERGO. Strategically launched during the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, a celebration that symbolises the essence of protection and care, this heart touching film foregrounds the deep connections we form with our domestic staff and brings out the possibilities on the way we can improve their lives by introducing them to health insurance.
The main idea behind this campaign is to encourage ‘sabko’ or everyone from across every section of the country, to stay protected with health insurance. The company has also built a website page on the theme of #KaroSabkoInsure (https://www.hdfcergo.com/karo-sabko-insure) where customers can explore and buy the suitable health insurance policies in a few clicks. In India, where a significant portion of the population from informal sector remains unaware of health insurance importance, this initiative by HDFC ERGO aims to spread awareness on importance of health insurance, and encourage every Indian to take up an insurance plan.
Speaking about this initiative, HDFC ERGO General Insurance head – digital business group & marketing Somesh Surana said, “As a leading general insurer of India and a ‘Customer First’ organisation, we understand the need to address the health insurance requirements of the ‘missing middle,’ a vast demographic of 400–500 million individuals who lack adequate health insurance coverage. Aligned with IRDAI’s vision of ‘Insurance For All By 2047’, our #KaroSabkoInsure campaign strives to reach the last mile and propel financial inclusion in the country.”
The #KaroSabkoInsure campaign is released across all the digital mediums like Facebook, YouTube, etc. and will be promoted through in-cinema advertising and various distribution channels and advisors’ network of HDFC ERGO.
The #KaroSabkoInsure film is directed by Arunima Sharma and has been scripted by Parixit Bhattacharya and Ayush Prasad. BBH India is the creative strategy and execution partner for this film.

KPMG names Gary Wingrove as global chairman and CEO from October
Record Gmada bids signal rising demand as Rs 1,000 crore bet reshapes Tricity skyline
MUMBAI: KPMG has chosen continuity with a forward tilt. The firm has announced that Gary Wingrove will take over as global chairman and CEO of KPMG International, beginning a four year term from 1 October 2026. Currently serving as global chief operating officer, Wingrove steps into the top role after being nominated by the global board and elected by the global council.
A KPMG veteran with over 25 years at the firm, Wingrove has been closely involved in shaping its recent trajectory. As global COO, he has helped drive the firm’s Collective Strategy, focusing on operational integration, global investments and the steady expansion of the KPMG Delivery Network. He has also been at the forefront of KPMG’s digital push, including the rollout of AI enabled solutions across its global operations.
Before his global role, Wingrove served as CEO of KPMG Australia for nearly a decade, where he led a period of strong growth, almost doubling revenue, profitability and headcount while steering a cultural reset.
He succeeds Bill Thomas, who has led KPMG since 2017 and will work alongside Wingrove over the next six months to ensure a smooth transition.
Thomas leaves behind a firm that looks markedly different from when he took charge. Under his leadership, KPMG’s global revenues have risen by 55 per cent, and its workforce has expanded to more than 276,000 people. He also unified the network of member firms under the Collective Strategy, aligning priorities and strengthening governance.
His tenure saw heavy investment in technology and partnerships, with alliances spanning Microsoft, Google Cloud, SAP, Oracle and ServiceNow. These collaborations, along with platforms like KPMG Clara, have helped the firm scale its AI-led offerings and sharpen its competitive edge.
Beyond growth, Thomas also pushed improvements in audit quality and sustainability. Initiatives such as a multiyear global sustainability strategy and the Our Impact Plan have aimed to embed long term thinking into the firm’s operations and client services.
For Wingrove, the brief is clear but evolving. He has signalled a focus on agility, deep expertise and technology driven solutions as clients navigate an increasingly complex business landscape. He also emphasised KPMG’s identity as a people first organisation, supported by technology and unified through its global network.
The timing of the leadership change comes as KPMG continues to grow, reporting a 5.1 per cent rise in global revenue in FY25, with gains across tax and legal, audit and advisory services. Growth was recorded across all regions, despite a challenging macro environment.
As Wingrove prepares to take charge, the firm appears set on a familiar path with a sharper digital edge. Same playbook, perhaps, but with a renewed focus on speed, scale and smarter solutions.
