AI and blockchain will change the way insurance is done in India: Samrat Das, CIO, PNB MetLife - ET CIO

You'd expect the CIO of an insurance company to really hold forth on matters relating to IT. Samrat Das doesn't do that. Quite the contrary- he talks at length about emerging business models in insurance, digital imperatives and disruptive forces redefining insurance as we know it. Das belong to the growing breed of CIOs who have a yen for taking on a digital leadership within their organization. And he seems cut out for the role too. An old hand, Das managed the IT stewardship at Tata AIA Life Insurance and SBI Life Insurance.
