I am delighted to welcome you to the 25th Global Conference of Actuaries (GCA) and Actuarial Gala Function & Awards (AGFA), which will take place from 22nd to 24th February 2026, at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.

This silver-jubilee edition marks a significant milestone for our profession. The theme, “Actuarial Pathways to Viksit Bharat: Managing Risks for Inclusive Social and Economic Growth,” invites us to look beyond our traditional boundaries, explore the evolving landscape of our profession and deliberate on how we can align ourselves with the overall objectives of a rapidly growing nation. This year’s conference promises to be all the more exciting and thought-provoking, bringing together actuaries and other professionals from across the globe.
