Mr. Gany Subramaniam

Allianz Insurance Lanka Ltd received the prestigious ‘Claims Initiative of the Year - Sri Lanka’ award at the Insurance Asia Awards 2021 held recently.

Organised by Insurance Asia, a renowned publication devoted to insurance companies, investors, professionals, and policymakers, the Insurance Asia Awards are known as Asia Pacific's most acclaimed awards programme for the most outstanding insurance firms in the region, the company said in a media release.

Allianz Lanka was recognised at this forum for its steadfast commitment to honouring its promise to policyholders and swiftly settling all valid claims in a professional manner as well as its continued efforts to upgrade its service levels, simplify its processes, and introduce innovative solutions that deliver greater value to its customers.

“In light of the unprecedented challenges brought about by the tragic events of Easter Sunday in 2019 and the global pandemic in 2020, the insurer strived to offer policyholders much needed additional support. As part of these efforts, Allianz Lanka used technology to further accelerate the processing and payment of claims in a safe and secure manner, settling around 500,000 claims in 2019 and 2020, thereby helping customers recover and get back on their feet, faster,” it said.

“We are honoured to stand alongside leading insurers from around the Asia Pacific region and receive the ‘Claims Initiative of the Year - Sri Lanka’ award at the prestigious Insurance Asia Awards for our commitment to securing people’s lives and to giving courage to our customers for what’s ahead. Given the devastating impact of the global pandemic and financial crisis on both businesses and consumers, our teams have gone beyond their call of duty to support our customers, uphold our promises to them and deliver more value,” said Gany Subramaniam, CEO of Allianz Insurance Lanka Ltd. “The heightened concerns around health and safety as well as the periodic movement restrictions have accelerated our ongoing digital transformation process, enabling us to serve our policyholders in a more efficient and effective manner. We look forward to continuing to leverage emerging technologies to deliver innovative services and solutions that give our customers greater confidence in tomorrow.”
