Theme: Actuarial Pathways to Viksit Bharat: Managing Risks for Inclusive Social and Economic Growth
As India advances towards the vision of Viksit Bharat, managing risks and strengthening insurance mechanisms are essential to achieving inclusive social and economic growth. In this transformative journey, actuarial science provides strategic pathways through its data-driven, analytical approach to understanding and mitigating uncertainty. From fortifying social protection and insurance systems to ensuring financial stability, actuarial expertise plays a pivotal role in designing sustainable, future-ready solutions.
These actuarial pathways empower policymakers, insurers and institutions to proactively manage risks, enhance resilience, and drive equitable progress across sectors. By embedding actuarial principles within insurance and broader national frameworks, we can safeguard vulnerable communities, promote financial inclusion, and support long-term development goals.
With a proud legacy of 81 years, the actuarial profession in India continues to evolve and contribute meaningfully to national development.
Aligned with the spirit of Silver Jubilee celebrations for the Global Conference of Actuaries, this theme highlights the innovative and vital role of actuarial science and insurance in building a robust, inclusive, and prosperous nation. It positions actuaries as key contributors to India’s journey towards a confident, resilient, and truly developed Viksit Bharat.
This milestone year is not only a celebration of the past 25 years of professional excellence shown in the GCAs but also a moment to explore the next frontier of actuarial thinking and its impact on society, finance, and sustainability.
The conference aims to present a diverse, future-facing, and globally relevant agenda that addresses both current developments and emerging challenges across the actuarial, finance, insurance, and related domains.
We invite original research, case studies, thought leadership, and practical insights across the following areas (illustrative, not exhaustive):
Based on the details provided in the EOI and if the Abstract is accepted after a selection process, the Organizing Group would be inviting detailed Papers/ Presentations on respective subject perceived to be of key importance for the event.
The presentations may be based on Research work published or un-published but should not be exact repeat of any presentation/s already done in any other forum. Papers however should demonstrate original, unpublished research which will denote the original contribution of the author/s.

This 25th GCA is a celebration — not just of a conference, but of a community, a profession, and a vision. We invite you to contribute your insights, shape discussions, and be part of building the next chapter in actuarial and financial innovation.
