Diwali 2024

We are excited to invite you to our special Diwali Celebration in London, hosted in partnership with Tokio Marine Kiln and Apollo, on Tuesday 19 November. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and celebrate the Festival of Lights in true Diwali spirit.

At this year’s “Festival of Lights” event, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich cultural traditions of Diwali while connecting with peers from across the industry.

There will be a panel discussion on the cultural significance of Diwali, traditional dancing, henna art, and an authentic culinary experience. We are excited to welcome Vivek Syal, Chief Underwriting Officer at TMK, and Vinay Mistry, Chief Risk Officer at Apollo, as they share their perspectives on the importance of Diwali, its relevance in today’s world, and its connections to values we uphold in our professional lives.
