The positive move was initiated after Bharti Group in October 2023 announced plans to buy out its joint venture partner AXA Group’s 49% stake in the life insurance business. Bharti AXA Life Insurance Company Limited is a joint venture between Bharti Enterprises and French insurance company AXA established in 2006. The parent company holds a 51% stake in the joint venture, with AXA holding the remaining 49%.
Meanwhile, now, Bharti Enterprises is contemplating to exit its insurance services business, while triggering negotiations with Reliance Industries to sell its stake in both Bharti AXA Life Insurance and Bharti AXA General Insurance in 2016.
