IDBI Federal Life launches #KeepMoving movement
MUMBAI: IDBI Federal Life Insurance, one of India’s leading private life insurance companies, together with its brand ambassador, Sachin Tendulkar, has announced the launch of the #KeepMoving movement which aims to redefine the idea of fitness for India.
Through the movement, IDBI Federal seeks to drive home the message that in order to create and lead a healthy lifestyle, it is important to focus on both – physical fitness and financial fitness. The campaign has been conceptualised by L&K Saatchi & Saatchi.
The #KeepMoving campaign will launch with short films featuring cricketing legend, Sachin Tendulkar which will encourage Indians to log onto the #KeepMoving. Once on the microsite, they can then do an audit of their physical fitness and financial fitness levels by taking a short assessment test. The test results would reveal their current fitness levels on both parameters, as well as provide advice and tips to help them improve their scores.
Sharing his thoughts, Tendulkar said, “We see that most Indians who aspire to lead a healthy lifestyle tend to focus largely on physical fitness, while financial fitness is far lower on their list of priorities. Through the #KeepMoving movement, we aspire to change the mindsets of Indians by redefining their idea of fitness. We hope to create awareness among them that in order to truly live the lifestyle of their choice, they need to focus on both – physical fitness and financial fitness.”
Elaborating further on the movement, IDBI Federal Life Insurance MD and CEO Vighnesh Shahane said, “At IDBI Federal, our purpose is to empower people to create and live the lifestyle of their choice. For an individual to accomplish this, we believe that he or she needs to focus on his complete fitness, both physical and financial. It is not a choice and that is the key point that our #KeepMoving campaign aims to drive home. Helmed by our Brand Ambassador, Sachin Tendulkar, we endeavour to encourage, push and motivate the happy-to-be sedentary Indian down the path towards total fitness through this movement. This will help to build a better tomorrow, not only for the individual, but for the country as a whole.”

Beacon Group appoints Dr Rajesh Patel as Group CEO
36-year healthcare veteran to lead Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek, Biogeny.
MUMBAI: A new chief, a fresh diagnosis and a sharper prescription for growth. Beacon Group has appointed Dr Rajesh Patel as its Group Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, signalling a decisive push to scale its presence in the diagnostics and IVD space. Patel steps into the role with 36 years of experience across the healthcare and diagnostics industry, bringing a career shaped by leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, business development and operational strategy. His mandate is both expansive and precise: to steer the group’s overall strategic direction while tightening coordination across its three core entities Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek and Biogeny Diagnostics.
In practical terms, that means driving cross-company synergies, accelerating market expansion and strengthening organisational capability areas increasingly critical as diagnostic players compete for scale in a fragmented yet rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem. The group is positioning itself to capture unmet demand across chain laboratories, key accounts and standalone labs, segments that remain underserved despite growing diagnostic needs.
The appointment comes at a time when the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sector in India is entering a more competitive and innovation-led phase, with companies focusing not just on product pipelines but also on service delivery, integration and customer-centric models. Beacon’s leadership appears to be betting that Patel’s execution-focused approach can help translate ambition into operational momentum.
Welcoming the appointment, Chairman Dr D K Joshi described Patel’s induction as a strategic move aligned with the group’s long-term vision, emphasising the role of leadership depth in navigating the next phase of growth.
For Beacon Group, the message is clear, in a sector where precision matters, leadership is the new differentiator—and this appointment is intended to set the tone for what comes next.
