Confident of India’s robust growth potential despite the short-term economic headwinds, Japan’s Nippon Life has said it will put to use all its resources to help its Indian partner Reliance Life become the country’s top life insurance company. Nippon Life, Asia’s largest private life insurer and seventh biggest globally, has a whopping asset size of $650 billion and has made two of the largest FDIs in the Indian financial services sector -- over Rs 3,000 crore in Reliance Life and about Rs 1,500 crore in Reliance Capital Asset Management Company (RCAM).
