Religare Enterprises Limited (REL) which is a leading financial services group announced its foray into the health insurance industry by setting up Religare Health. The company has already established a strong foothold in the life insurance industry with Aegon Religare Life Insurance Company Limited.

The responsibility of setting up the business is being handled by Anuj Gulati. Anuj who is the CEO of Religare Health Insurance Company Ltd has worked in ICICI Lombard General Insurance prior to this assignment.

The non-life insurance industry already has three players who are exclusive health insurance companies, namely, Apollo Munich, Star Health and Max Bupa.
