Speaking about this achievement, Javed Ahmed, CEO and MD, Jubilee Life Insurance said, “SECP’s decision of starting Takaful window operations was excellent for the industry as it has helped us increase the consumer base. Although, the percentage of people not opting for traditional insurance due to religion was always fairly low. Today, we stand even more determined to excel and with our focused strategy covering all growth areas resulting in continued success for the organization.”
The Company has been performing well and is leading the insurance industry with a growth rate of 41 percent in topline and 70 percent in bottomline.
