By GlobalDataIn April 2024, Aon closed the acquisition of Global Insurance Brokers (GIB), enhancing its footprint in the Indian market.
The deal, agreed in October 2023, is expected to bolster Aon’s broking and advisory services in the commercial risk, health and reinsurance sectors.
GIB is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Aon and will begin formal integration with Aon India Insurance Brokers (AIIB) after the National Company Law Tribunal merger process concludes, which is expected later this year.
Until then, GIB will operate independently within Aon.
