By combining analytical rigor with purpose-driven innovation, we can ensure our profession remains a cornerstone of stability and progress in an era defined by uncertainty.
This silver jubilee edition of the GCA presents a remarkable opportunity to shape our collective future.

Alongside the GCA, we will also host the AGFA , which offers a moment of pride and inspiration as we acknowledge the achievements that exemplify hard work, dedication, and professional growth of our profession.
The GCA organizing group is working in close collaboration with the team at the Institute of Actuaries of India (IAI) to ensure that every aspect of this milestone event is being thoughtfully designed. From engaging discussions to invaluable networking opportunities, this 25th GCA will be a confluence of knowledge, innovation, and the collective spirit of the actuarial fraternity.
For the student actuaries and young professionals, this is your moment to engage with leaders, broaden your horizons, and spark ideas that can shape your journey ahead and contribute to the objectives of Viksit Bharat.
I urge each one of you to mark your calendars, secure your participation, and prepare to be inspired by an event that will shape the future of our profession and the nation at large. The 25th GCA is more than an event—it is a celebration of progress, purpose, and the collective strength of our profession.
We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a truly memorable and impactful gathering.
