There is little doubt that the pandemic has fundamentally changed the world. One of the subsequent boom to the changed world order is a revolution of sorts in the digital sphere. Right from online classes for kindergarten kids to the ‘work from home’ approach of the corporates, it is the digital platforms that have become the order of the day. The insurance sector is not in isolation to this phenomenon. 
Being in the sector for the past 12 years, Vinod P N opines that there will be more opportunities in the cards for talent and experts in all the sectors including the Insurance sector in the coming year, thanks to the proactive approach of the Federal Government. Working as a Corporate Relationship Manager at Wehbe Insurance Services LLC, Dubai and an active member of BNI, he is a bit apprehensive regarding the new variants of the Virus but confident that economy will soar in the time to come.
