Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.

 

In this episode, Justin Smulison is rejoined by special guest, Ashish Parakh, the Senior Vice President of Strategy, Risk Management Practice, Data & Analytics, and Marketing & Communications at Marsh India.

 

Recorded just two days after the RIMS Risk Forum India 2020, Ashish discusses his experience as well as the panel he presented, “Spotlight on Resilience, Risk Management During COVID-19.” He is also here to discuss the results and takeaways from the “Excellence in Risk Management India 2020, Spotlight on Resilience: Risk Management During COVID-19,” which was jointly produced by RIMS and Marsh.
