Bidadi Industries Association Hosts 2nd Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon

Bangalore, 24th March 2025: The Bidadi Industries Association Foundation (BIAF) successfully hosted the 2nd edition of the Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon on 23rd March 2025 at Jollywood Studios, nestled in the scenic Bidadi Industrial Area on the outskirts of Bengaluru. Centred around the theme “Run for Safety & Sustainability,” witnessed a turnout of over 4,500 registered participants from diverse walks of life—highlighting a rising passion for fitness, road safety awareness, and environmental responsibility. Toyota Kirloskar Motor, given its strong commitment to road safety and sustainability, proudly supported the event as the Title Sponsor.

India continues to grapple with alarming road safety challenges—over 1,50,000 fatalities occur annually due to road crashes, making it the highest globally. Shockingly, road traffic injuries remain the leading cause of death among individuals aged 5 to 29 years. In this backdrop, the marathon stood as a meaningful platform to raise awareness, advocate responsible road behaviour, and inspire change.

The marathon served as a powerful testament to community spirit, resilience, and collective action, bringing together participants from over 30 industries, fitness enthusiasts, community members, and a remarkable group of more than 1,000 runners from Toyota Kirloskar Motor.

The event also saw the active participation of key government official from Ramanagara—Mr. Yashwanth Gurukar, IAS, Deputy Commissioner; underscoring the strong, shared commitment to promoting health, safety, and sustainability, reinforcing the marathon’s deeper purpose beyond the run.

Present at the occasion, Mr. Sudeep Dalvi, Chief Communication Officer, Senior Vice President and Head State Affairs, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “At Toyota, we strongly believe in empowering communities through sustainable initiatives that promote health, safety, and well-being. The Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon is more than just a race—it is a testament to our vision of creating a fitter, safer, and more environmentally responsible future. By bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds, industries, and communities, this marathon has demonstrated the power of unity in driving meaningful change. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiastic participation and unwavering support received from all stakeholders. Toyota remains committed to championing such initiatives that inspire people to take charge of their fitness while advocating for road safety and sustainability.”

As part of a broader awareness drive, the marathon featured impactful road safety hoardings, street plays, and skits led by students and volunteers to educate participants and spectators on responsible road behaviour and sustainability. The active involvement of children and youth fostered deeper community engagement, reinforcing the event’s inclusive spirit. With race categories for all fitness levels—including 3K, 5K, 10K, 21K Timed Runs, and a fun-filled 3K Majja Run—the event drew participants from all walks of life, including senior citizens, bureaucrats, and community members, who were recognized and awarded for their commitment to health, safety, and the environment.

The BIA Foundation, established in 2023 and formally registered under the Indian Trust Act, continues to drive impactful community development initiatives across the Ramanagara district. Powered by the collective contributions of industries in and around the Bidadi Industrial Area, the foundation remains committed to creating sustainable, long-term change. The Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon was not just a celebration of physical endurance—it was a rallying call for health, safety, and sustainability. By bringing together individuals, industries, and institutions for a common cause, the event left a lasting imprint on the community, reinforcing the values of unity, awareness, and collective responsibility that lie at the heart of the foundation’s mission.

Bajaj Allianz Life Urges Awareness as 81% Remain Underinsured​

25 March 2025: Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, one of India’s leading private life insurers, has released a comprehensive study titled ‘Underinsurance Survey 2025’, conducted in collaboration with NielsenIQ. The survey covered 2,000 individuals across metro, tier 1, and tier 2 cities, assessing life insurance coverage levels and identifying gaps in financial protection. The findings highlight the current state of life insurance in India and the key factors influencing purchasing decisions.

The survey reveals a significant shift in life insurance trends, with the average age of first-time buyers dropping from 33 to 28 years. Family responsibilities, income levels, and health concerns emerged as key drivers for insurance adoption. Notably, 81% of respondents believed that life insurance coverage of less than 10 times their annual income was sufficient for financial security. However, the actual coverage figures tell a different story—in urban areas, the average life cover stood at 3.1X times annual income, dropping to 2.9 times for Mass Affluent and Affluent families respectively.

Speaking on the survey findings, Tarun Chugh, MD & CEO, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, said, India, despite being one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, has a total sum assured at just 70% of GDP—significantly lower than countries like the US (251%), Thailand (143%), and Malaysia (153%), highlighting a critical protection gap. This shortfall can leave families financially vulnerable, forcing them to dip into savings or liquidate assets in times of crisis, which can derail their life goals. To truly safeguard one’s loved ones, it’s essential to assess coverage needs holistically—factoring in income, liabilities, and future aspirations. A simple rule of thumb is to have life cover at least 10 times one’s annual income, ensuring financial security when it matters most.

 “Our Underinsurance Survey 2025 highlights this gap. Along with IRDAI and the industry, we will continue to take firmer steps to drive awareness, enhance product transparency, and improve accessibility. A robust digital and tech-enabled service ecosystem will be key in bridging this gap. Together, we can move closer to achieving the vision of ‘Insurance for All by 2047”

Key Findings of the Survey

  • Perception vs. Reality: Indians believed they had coverage of 6.4 times their income, but the actual coverage averaged just 3.1 times, highlighting a major gap in financial preparedness.
  • Lack of coverage reviews: Over one in three Indians have never reviewed their life insurance coverage, even after major life events. This number rises to 43% among self-employed and affluent individuals, putting them at higher risk of underinsurance.
  • Confidence in coverage: While younger individuals are purchasing insurance earlier, the 46-50 age group, which typically bought policies at age 33, expressed low confidence in their sum assured, reflecting ongoing uncertainty about coverage adequacy.
  • Key factors for determining coverage: Family responsibilities, higher income, and health concerns were the top three considerations for individuals when deciding on life insurance coverage.
  • Source of information: 46% of Indians rely on personal research for life insurance decisions, emphasizing a preference for self-directed learning. However, major life events are often overlooked when reassessing coverage needs.

The findings underscore a critical gap in life insurance awareness and adequacy in India. While more people are recognizing the importance of life insurance, misconceptions about required coverage persist, leaving many underinsured. Many find the concept of adequate life insurance coverage complex or struggle to grasp its importance. Bajaj Allianz Life has been focused on simplifying this, making it a routine part of household financial planning. The key is to determine the right coverage by assessing one’s income, savings, liabilities, and family needs. The general rule-of-thumb is to secure cover that is 10 times one’s annual income. This will keep the policyholder’s family financially well supported in the event of his/her death.

As envisioned by our Hon’ble Prime Minister, India’s development into a prosperous nation by 2047 hinges on a robust economic foundation, and the real estate sector, contributing nearly 18% to the GDP, will be instrumental in this journey. With continuous innovation, reforms, and skill development, this industry can grow to ₹85 lakh crore by 2030, generating employment and boosting economic strength.”

Gracing the closing ceremony, Guest of honor Divya Dutta lauded the real estate community for their dedication and impact. Sharing her thoughts, she said, “I think it’s a great initiative. It’s not an easy job—it requires a lot of effort. A home is one of the most essential needs for a person, and they make it happen. It’s beautiful to be here and witness the commitment of professionals who turn dreams into reality.”

The convention underscored the critical importance of education, certification, and ongoing professional development. Several discussions highlighted the need to equip real estate professionals with contemporary skills, ethical practices, and comprehensive regulatory knowledge to better meet the evolving needs of the market.

Mr. Sumanth Reddy Arani, Chairman of NAR-India, shared his thoughts on the occasion, stating, “This year’s convention has marked another milestone in our journey towards a professionalized and transparent real estate sector in India. NAR-India remains committed to promoting education, advocating policy reforms, and empowering professionals to lead the way in this transformative era.”

Echoing these sentiments, Mr. Mitesh Poddar, President-Elect, APP Delhi NCR and Co-Chair of the 17th NAR-India Annual Convention, added, “The proposed ‘One Nation, One Licence’ system is a revolutionary step for real estate professionals. It will simplify processes, enhance trust, and create uniform regulations, enabling ease of doing business across different states.”

Mr. Gaganpal Singh, President of APP Delhi NCR and Co-Chair of the convention, also remarked, “While RERA has already brought significant transparency, there is an ongoing need to strengthen professional education in our field. By focusing on knowledge-building and ethical standards, we can ensure that every real estate agent is well-prepared to serve clients with integrity and professionalism.”

The two-day event also witnessed the participation of several prominent personalities,; Aman Gupta, Co-founder & CMO of boAt; Sahil Kapoor of Keller Williams India; Bharath Kumar, Co-founder & CEO of ZeroCode Innovations; celebrated author Chetan Bhagat, and many others. Their valuable insights and experiences enriched the conversations, providing a comprehensive perspective on the future of Indian real estate.

The convention concluded with a special felicitation ceremony for participants of NAR-India’s national knowledge-driven training program, Real Estate Business Management. Twenty participants from across India who successfully completed the course were awarded certificates in recognition of their achievements. This initiative reflects NAR-India’s focus on enhancing professional capabilities through structured learning and certification.

With the resounding success of its 17th Annual Convention, NAR-India has reaffirmed its dedication to fostering a progressive, ethical, and professionally driven real estate industry that is ready to meet the aspirations of a rapidly developing India.

From Wales to Kolkata Young Volunteers Champion Education and Social Change

Kolkata, 24th March, 2025: A team of ten young women from Wales completed a truly inspirational two-week volunteering trip in Kolkata, India. As part of Urdd Gobaith Cymru, Wales’ largest youth organization, the volunteers worked with nonprofit organizations dedicated to aiding and educating children, youth, and women from some of the city’s most marginalized communities.

During their time in Kolkata, the volunteers fully immersed themselves in the city’s vibrant culture while also sharing Welsh traditions and language. A key highlight of the trip was their engagement with Ek Tara Middle School, which provides vital educational opportunities to hundreds of girls from Kolkata’s largest slum. The volunteers organized interactive and engaging activities to create a fun and supportive learning environment for the children.

Reflecting on the experience, one of the volunteers said, “I feel very honoured to have been selected as one of ten young women from Wales to go to India with the Urdd. It has been a truly inspirational, unforgettable, and life-changing experience. I loved meeting some of Kolkata’s young women and children, contributing towards a local charity’s incredible work, and sharing cultures while learning from one another.”

The team also visited the Suchana Centre, where they conducted language exchange sessions as part of the Urdd’s “Chwarae yn Gymraeg” (Play in Welsh) program. This initiative encouraged a cross-cultural dialogue, with participants exchanging knowledge in six different languages in a single session, fostering valuable learning experiences for all involved.

The collaboration between the Urdd and Kolkata-based charities has been ongoing for over two decades, with continuous support from the Welsh Government. This relationship was initiated through the ‘Welcome Kolkata’ campaign, originally launched by the Urdd and Christian Aid, which established an exchange program between Urdd members and young women from Kolkata’s red-light districts. Since the inaugural trip in 2003, Urdd volunteers have frequently visited Kidderpore, a resource center in Kolkata’s red-light area, engaging in a range of humanitarian projects.

Siân Lewis, Chief Executive of Urdd Gobaith Cymru, reaffirmed the organization’s dedication to fostering international connections, stating, “We strongly believe in creating international links and broadening the horizons of young Welsh people. Twenty years ago, the Urdd established a partnership with the city and charities of Kolkata, and thanks to the support of the Welsh Government, we have been able to resume our international volunteering programs. Taking a group of ten young women to India to support the incredible humanitarian work in Kolkata is a continuation of this meaningful journey.”

The volunteers’ experience in Kolkata has left a lasting impact on both the young Welsh participants and the communities they served. Their journey stands as a testament to the transformative power of cultural exchange and the enduring impact of volunteerism in creating meaningful, positive change.
