Mumbai: With the Viksit Bharat 2047 in focus, the silver jubilee edition of the Global Conference of Actuaries (GCA), one of the most influential platform for risk, insurance and financial sustainability conversations, will be held in India’s financial capital of Mumbai.

The Institute of Actuaries of India (IAI) will host the 25th GCA between 22–24 February 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre at the World Trade Centre in Mumbai.

"To achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, it is imperative to manage financial, demographic, climate and systemic risk in a holistic manner. The 25th edition of GCA is an opportunity to place actuarial thinking at the centre of conversations around inclusive growth and long-term resilience,” said Preeti Chandrashekhar, President, IAI.
