Angel One, LivWell announce ₹4 billion JV for digital life insurance
Angel One on Wednesday said it proposes to enter a joint venture with LivWell, a Singapore-based lifestyle and wellness-focused insurtech, to set up a digital-first life insurance company, subject to regulatory approvals. Angel One is proposed to hold a 26 per cent stake in the company, with the remaining 74 per cent to be held by LivWell Holding Company PTE Ltd. In its press release, the company said: 'Angel One, India's leading FinTech platform, proposes to enter into a JV with LivWell to promote a digital-first life insurance company, subject to regulatory approvals. The proposed company, with a capital infusion of Rs 4.0 billion, is being co-promoted by Angel One Ltd (26 per cent) and LivWell Holding Company PTE Ltd (74 per cent), with a shared vision of redefining access to life insurance in India through technology and trust.' The proposed company will see a capital infusion of Rs 4 billion from both entities. LivWell is backed by Olympus Capital, an Asia-focused private equity firm with over $2.6 billion invested. Wilf Blackburn, former regional chief executive officer of Prudential Asia, is proposed to chair the venture, while Nikhil Verma, former deputy CEO of Aviva Vietnam, is proposed to lead as CEO. Angel One and LivWell aim to address underinsurance in the country with 'simple, reliable and protection-led offerings, backed by seamless digital experiences. The JV will focus on operating on a digital-first architecture, leveraging tech-driven automation and personalisation to make insurance affordable, accessible and aligned to real-life needs,' the release said. Ambarish Kenghe, group CEO at Angel One Limited, said: 'As India embraces digital financial services, insurance too must be accessible, transparent and seamlessly delivered through trusted platforms. This partnership also deepens our offerings across the financial lifecycle—bringing us closer to delivering a seamless, end-to-end experience across savings, investing and protection. The products sourced from this JV will help strengthen our digital distribution framework for the protection segment, further fortifying our long-term association with our clients.' 'At LivWell, we have seen how protection products, when delivered with simplicity and purpose, can drive meaningful impact at scale. In our first market, Vietnam, embedded, digital-first insurance models have demonstrated strong potential for scale, proving that trust and reach can go hand in hand. India presents a unique opportunity not just because of the protection gap, but because consumer expectations have fundamentally evolved. With Angel One's digital reach and market credibility, we see a strong alignment to build a next-generation digital insurer that is relevant to today's customers, accessible and future-ready,' said Nikhil Verma, CEO, LivWell.

Bengaluru bizman fined Rs 40L for unpaid road tax on luxury cars bought from Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan
Bengaluru: Transport authorities have fined scrap dealer-turned-billionaire Yousuf Shariff, popularly known as KGF Babu, nearly Rs 40 lakh for using two Maharashtra-registered Rolls-Royce cars in Bengaluru without paying the required road tax. One of the cars (MH11-AX-0001) was bought second-hand from Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, and the other (MH 02-BB-0002) from actor Aamir Khan. A team led by Joint Commissioner of Transport (Bengaluru Urban) Shobha M searched Shariff's residence in Vasanthnagar on Wednesday and inspected his collection of luxury cars. .Ferrari owner in Bengaluru forced to pay Rs 1.42 crore after evading found that both Rolls-Royces were being used in Karnataka without paying the applicable road tax. As per transport department rules, any vehicle registered outside Karnataka and used continuously in the state for over a year must pay the applicable road tax. The department fined Shariff Rs 19,83,367 for the Rolls-Royce bought from Khan, and Rs 18,53,067 for the one purchased from Bachchan. Shobha said Yelahanka RTO officials had noticed the Rolls-Royces being used in Bengaluru and issued notices to Shariff. "He did not respond to the notices and claimed he was in Mumbai — and so were the cars," Shobha told DH. However, department officials recently discovered that both cars were being used regularly in Bengaluru and decided to take action. "We visited his residence and found both cars. We conducted an inspection and asked him to pay the applicable road tax and fine. He paid through demand drafts as we don't accept cheques," Shobha said. She added that both cars were quite old. Bachchan's Rolls-Royce is 17 years old, while the one bought from Khan is 15 years old. Shariff bought Bachchan's car in 2021 and Khan's in 2023, the official said. Shariff's wife Shaziya Tarannum confirmed the development to DH, stating that the applicable fines had been paid through demand drafts. A native of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), Shariff is also known by the nicknames Gujri Babu, Scrap Babu and Raddi Babu, a reference to his earlier business of scrap trade. Shariff later made it big in real estate. In 2021, Shariff contested the Karnataka Legislative Council election from the Bangalore Urban local authorities' constituency on a Congress ticket but lost. He had declared assets worth Rs 1,744 crore belonging to himself and his family, making him one of the richest political candidates in Karnataka. In 2023, he contested the assembly election from Chickpet in Bengaluru as an independent after the Congress denied him the ticket. He secured 20,931, or 16.25%, of the total votes caste, finishing third. The BJP's Uday Garudachar won the seat with 57,299 votes. The Congress candidate, RV Devaraj, came second with 45,186 votes.
