Bajaj Allianz General Insurance associated with Rani Rampal – whose relentless determination, focus on her goals, and a never-give-up attitude along with the timely support she received, helped her stand where she is today. She is an inspiration to a generation of women who dare to achieve their dreams by defying all odds. Thus, resonating with the brand’s proposition that hard work, focus along with care, and support from those around you can help you reach your goal line.
Learning from Rani’s journey and the struggles of many like her, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance has gone one step ahead and has associated with One Thousand Hockey Legs, a flagship project of Delhi-based NGO – Hockey Citizen Group. As a part of this association, the Company will contribute towards supporting underprivileged children pursuing hockey in terms of coaching, nutrition, and equipment.
