Our Story

A Legacy Built on Trust

LIC Agents Association, Surat Division (LICAAS) was established in 1977 by a group of dedicated insurance professionals who recognized the need for a unified platform to represent, support, and strengthen the LIC agent community in Surat and the surrounding region.

Over the course of nearly five decades, LICAAS has grown from a small founding group into one of Gujarat's most respected and active professional associations. The association has continuously evolved, adapting to the changing landscape of the insurance industry while staying true to its founding principles.
