MUMBAI: In line with its continued thrust on ‘Innovation’, Future Generali India Insurance Company (FGII) launched its Annual Report for FY 2022-23 in a never-seen-before avatar. This innovative report comes in the form of a book and is one of India’s most comprehensive cricketing memoir-cum-annual report. The intriguing annual report consists of a specially curated collector’s item – a section on Game Changing Moments – penned by the eminent sports journalist, Ayaz Memon, a media release said.
The book encapsulates the vibrant journey of Indian cricket since 1932 – showcasing a remarkable voyage through 18 pivotal Game Changing Moments that have reshaped Indian cricket’s narrative and left an indelible mark on the nation’s collective consciousness. The report is, further, enriched by exclusive interviews by Memon with four legendary cricketers across different eras – Mohinder Amarnath, Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman and Mithali Raj.
The memoir-cum-annual report was launched by ace cricketer, Anil Kumble, in the presence of the author of Game Changing Moments, Ayaz Memon and Anup Rau, MD&CEO, Future Generali India Insurance along with other dignitaries.
Speaking at the launch, Anil Kumble, inarguably the greatest leg spinner of his era, said, “Being the nation’s most followed sport, cricket epitomises hope, joy, celebration, sometimes even gloom for this country of a billion plus. But one thing remains constant across the spectrum of emotions – is the inspiration. Be it a valiant loss or a gallant victory, Cricket represents the spirit of “efforts over results” – much like insurance. I would like to congratulate Ayaz, Anup and Team FGII for their efforts in realising this audacious project.”
Commenting on the initiative, Anup Rau, Managing Director and CEO, Future Generali India Insurance Company, said, “In the world of insurance and beyond, the true game changers are those who innovate with a purpose. We have transformed our annual report into a collectible cricketing memoir and are making it available for sale. Like in the previous years, the funds generated from the orders of these reports will go for a noble cause to our NGO partners. For us, it’s not just about statistics; it’s about the stories that inspire. This effort is our tribute to the spirit of cricket and the aspirations of a billion-plus fans. And as the Men’s Cricket World Cup unfolds, we wish our home team the very best.”
Future Generali India Insurance has a unique track record of preparing annual reports, as collectibles, which are offered for purchase to the connoisseurs. The proceeds from purchase of the report goes to Future Generali’s NGO partners.
