The Beginning

From the coastal city of Porbandar, the idea of the J.B.Boda Group became a reality. From Porbandar, the J.B.Boda Group shifted their base to the economic capital of India, Mumbai, which marked the beginning of reinsurance broking in India.

World War II

In the year 1943, tensions and risks were at an all-time high due to World War II. Despite that, the decision of establishing and initiating the J.B.Boda Group was taken.

Pre-independence

The reinsurance broking business in Indian territory was virgin and unheard of. The J.B.Boda Group became the pioneers of reinsurance broking in India by insuring the Professional Indemnity (P&I) policy of Engineers on behalf of the Indian Insurance Company.

Inception

The humble beginnings of the J.B.Boda Group began in 1943 by the founding brothers, Late Mr. Jagmohandas Bhagwandas Boda and Late Mr. Dhirajlal Bhagwandas Boda, from the coastal city of Porbandar, Gujarat State, India. The company Jagmohandas Bhagwandas Boda & Co. Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated on 21st May, Wednesday, in 1952. This has been marked as the Group’s Foundation Day.

Crowe Boda & Co. Pvt. Ltd.

J.B.Boda Insurance Surveyors & Loss Assessors Pvt. Ltd.

It was incorporated in April of 1971, during the Group’s diversification into services beyond reinsurance broking. The J.B.Boda Group wanted to develop Professional Insurance and Marine Survey Services, which also became the objective of the inception of this new company.
