Introduction The founding of Metropolitan dates to as early as 1898 and Momentum traces its roots to being established in 1966. Momentum Group was formed from the merger of Metropolitan and Momentum, two sizeable and diverse insurance-based financial services companies in South Africa and was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on 1 December 2010.
In order to grow its international footprint and diversify its revenue streams, Momentum Group actively pursues financially viable opportunities across the world. Aditya Birla Health Insurance Company Limited, a joint venture with Aditya Birla Capital Limited, was incorporated in 2015 and was our first expansion into India.
Having experienced India first-hand as a hub of both talent and opportunity, we set up Momentum Services in 2017, a wholly-owned Mumbai-based global in-house centre to leverage IT, ITES and Business support services to all our businesses worldwide.
