Chairperson Address

Dear Friends,


I am delighted to welcome you to the 24th Global Conference of Actuaries (GCA), which will be held on March 18th and 19th, 2025, at The Westin Powai Lake, Mumbai. The theme of this year’s GCA is “Actuarial Excellence in the Age of Disruption,”. This year’s conference promises to be an exciting and thought-provoking gathering, bringing together actuaries and other professionals from across the globe to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of our profession.


The actuarial profession stands at the forefront of a transformative era. With emerging technologies, data advancements, and new challenges on the horizon, the theme for this year’s GCA is very topical. In a world increasingly driven by disruption, actuaries have a unique opportunity to showcase the expertise in data analytics, risk management, and strategic insight. Together, we can not only accelerate the growth of our profession but also contribute significantly to the broader goals of innovation and societal well-being.


As we come together for this milestone event, we look forward to strengthening our collaboration with colleagues from across geographies, industries and professions. The GCA will feature sessions designed to foster knowledge exchange, encourage multi-disciplinary learning, and inspire new ideas. Special focus will be given to the latest trends and developments that are shaping the future of the actuarial profession.

Sunil Sharma

Chairperson, GCA, Organising Group

At the Institute of Actuaries of India, we are committed to the rapid growth of the profession and to expanding the number of qualified actuaries in India. We encourage our student actuaries to actively engage in the discussions, share their perspectives, and contribute to shaping the future of the profession.


The conference will also celebrate the achievements of our peers, including the awarding of certificates to new fellows, associates, and academic achievers. Additionally, we will come together for the highly anticipated AGFA (Actuarial Gala Function and Awards) on 17th March 2024, a night of celebration, music, dance, and talent, to honour the spirit of the actuarial community.


I encourage you to mark your calendars for this landmark event. We are excited about the opportunities it will bring to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and explore how we, as actuaries, can excel in the face of disruption.


I look forward to seeing you all in Mumbai and to a memorable and impactful 24th Global Conference of Actuaries.
