New Delhi:Japan's Dai-ichi Mutual Life Insurance Company will invest $100 million in India's insurance sector, the company said here Wednesday. "We are planning to invest $100 million in India's insurance sector," Tomijiro Morita, chairperson of the board of Dai-ichi Mutual Life Insurance Company, told IANS on the sidelines of the India-Japan Business Leadership Forum. "This is a growing market and the insurance segment is emerging fast here than anywhere," Morita, who is also the vice-chairperson of the Japan Business Federation, added.
