A recent report by YouGov stated that among urban Indian sports fans, almost an equal proportion of men and women sports fans prefer women’s sports over men’s (51% females, 49% males). Max Life has a long association with cricket and cricketers that have championed its brand philosophy of “You are the Difference” – driving importance of long-term financial protection among the urban milieu.The findings of Max Life’s recent survey, India Protection Quotient (IPQ) 5.0 conducted in association with KANTAR, echoed the sentiment revealing that while women have made giant strides in financial protection and security, there is still a need to address the gap in financial awareness. As per this year’s IPQ 5.0 findings, the Knowledge Index of women stood at 51, while men continued to lead with 60 points – highlighting the need for targeted efforts to bridge the disparity and foster inclusivity.Commenting on the association, Rahul Talwar, Chief Marketing Officer, Max Life Insurance said, “We are thrilled to be associated with Mumbai Indians as their official life insurance partner for the upcoming season of IPL and also hugely proud to support the historic moment as India inaugurates the game-changing Women’s Premier League this year. As a brand, we are committed to strengthening diversity, equity and inclusion in society, and this partnership is an ode to that vision. Max Life believes in the message ‘Khelo Front Foot Pe’ and as women cricketers revolutionize sports in this country, we hope our message to the audience finds greater resonance and highlights the importance of financial protection.” Commenting on the partnership, Mumbai Indians spokesperson, said, “We are happy to associate with Max Life Insurance, one of the leading insurance providers, as our official life insurance partner.
