Ritu Nanda became a successful insurance advisor
Although Showman Raj Kapoor’s daughter, Ritu Nanda, is no longer with us, but her remarkable personality, and achievements continue to be remembered. She was married to Rajan Nanda, a well-known industrialist and former owner of Escorts. Despite being a part of the renowned business family, Ritu chose to carve her own path and ventured into the insurance sector. In 1980, she took a bold step by establishing her own insurance company, Eskolife, as an LIC agent. At the time, many doubted her decision and even laughed at her ambition. However, she proved them wrong with incredible success. Ritu herself spoke about this journey in Debashish Ghosh’s book ‘The Voyage of Excellence: The Ascent of 21 Women Leaders of India INC’, where she shared insights into her challenges and triumphs.
Ritu Nanda ventured into the business world with her company, Nikitasha, which specialised in kitchen appliances. However, the venture did not achieve success she had hoped for. Despite this setback, Ritu viewed as it a learning experience and applied the knowledge she gained to the insurance sector.
Her determination and expertise in the field earned her numerous accolades. She even secured a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for selling staggering 17,000 pension policies in a single day. In 2006, her excellence was further recognised when she was invited by the Million Dollar Round Table- a prestigious Global organisation of top insurance agents, to address its members. With this huge honour, she became the first woman to receive such a distinction.
For the unversed, Ritu Nanda and Rajan Nanda have two children- s0n Nikhil Nanda, who is married to Shweta Nanda, daughter of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, and daughter Natasha Nanda.
