NEW DELHI, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In a rapidly evolving investment landscape, customers are increasingly seeking solutions that combine protection, wealth creation and long-term financial security. Reinforcing its commitment to helping customers achieve their financial goals, PNB MetLife India Insurance Company Limited (PNB MetLife), one of India’s leading life insurers, reported strong performance across its equity fund portfolio, as reflected in the ratings by Morningstar as on 31st March, 2026.

According to Morningstar’s independent assessment, 99% of PNB MetLife’s equity fund assets under management (under unit linked insurance portfolio) have earned 4- or 5-star ratings, reflecting strong risk-adjusted performance over a five-year period. The company’s equity funds across the Mid-cap, Multi-cap and Large-cap categories have received top-tier ratings, underscoring their ability to deliver consistent long-term value for customers. 

The recognition highlights the strength of PNB MetLife’s disciplined investment philosophy, built on rigorous research, prudent risk management and a long-term approach to wealth creation.

Published

By

Three original, AI-generated story experiences for banking, insurance, and government audiences bring Newgen’s ‘Ahead of What’s Ahead’ brand narrative to life on DX++, its digital destination for thought leadership and industry perspectives.

NEW DELHI, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Newgen Software orchestrates intelligent enterprises at scale, bringing intelligence, trust, and control together to help organizations prepare for what’s ahead. Extending this focus beyond enterprise technology, Newgen is also reimagining how it engages with the industries it serves through DX++ (Digital Transformation Plus Plus), its digital destination for thought leadership, industry points of view, expert perspectives, and insights on emerging technologies and enterprise transformation.

Building on this content ecosystem, Newgen is bringing the art of storytelling to its banking, insurance and government audiences through ‘Ahead of Victory’, a Dussehra-special campaign featuring three original, 15-minute stories, crafted specifically for these industries and brought to life through a compelling, visual storytelling style. Streaming on DX++, the films offer a distinctive way to engage audiences, bringing together creativity, technology and industry understanding.

The campaign draws from Newgen’s overarching brand narrative, Ahead of What’s Ahead, launched earlier this year. Rooted in the company’s organisational DNA, the narrative reflects the ability to foresee what lies ahead, prepare for change and act with purpose. Ahead of Victory brings this approach into the festive season through the power of storytelling.

Ahead of What’s Ahead: A mindset that defines Newgen

For Newgen, staying ahead is more than a brand promise. It is an organisational mindset built around three fundamental principles: foresee, prepare and act. It means recognising emerging possibilities, anticipating challenges and helping enterprises navigate change with confidence.

This approach is reflected in Newgen’s global positioning, Orchestrating Intelligent Enterprises. Through the NewgenONE Platform, Newgen brings content, processes and communications together in an orchestration layer that embeds intelligence into how enterprises operate, with trust, governance and control built in.

The Ahead of What’s Ahead narrative brings these ideas together, reflecting Newgen’s commitment to innovation and its belief that being prepared for the future begins with anticipating what comes next.

Ahead of Victory: Where storytelling meets the spirit of staying ahead

Stories have the power to make ideas relatable, spark conversations and create lasting connections. With Ahead of Victory, Newgen brings this power to enterprise communication, using cinematic storytelling to engage the industries it serves in a fresh and memorable way.

The campaign features three original, 15-minute, AI-generated story experiences created for banking, insurance and government audiences. Moving beyond conventional B2B communication formats, these immersive narratives use engaging storytelling to connect with the unique contexts and interests of each sector.

The campaign takes inspiration from the spirit of Dussehra, the triumph of good over evil and the courage to overcome challenges. This resonates with Newgen’s approach of looking beyond the present, anticipating what lies ahead and being prepared to act.

The initiative reflects Newgen’s efforts to engage with its customers and prospects in fresh and unexpected ways. By using AI to bring industry-specific stories to life, the campaign offers a distinctive alternative to conventional B2B communication, creating a more relatable and engaging way to connect with audiences across banking, insurance and government.

DX++: Digital Transformation, Plus Plus

DX++ brings together Newgen’s thought leadership, industry points of view, expert perspectives and content on emerging technologies and enterprise transformation. It serves as a destination for audiences looking to explore the ideas, challenges and possibilities shaping their industries.

By bringing these resources together, DX++ extends the conversation beyond products and solutions to the wider business and technology developments influencing enterprise transformation. The addition of Ahead of Victory introduces a cinematic dimension to this content ecosystem, demonstrating how industry insights can be complemented by creative storytelling to engage audiences in new ways.

For Newgen, DX++ is a destination where expertise, ideas and creative expression come together reinforcing the company’s focus on anticipating change and exploring what comes next.

Runki Goswami, Chief Marketing Officer, Newgen, says, “‘Ahead of What’s Ahead’ reflects something fundamental to Newgen: our ability to foresee, prepare and act. It shapes how we approach enterprise transformation, innovation and the opportunities that lie ahead. With ‘Ahead of Victory’, we wanted to take a fresh approach to engaging with our customers and prospects, moving beyond conventional B2B communication through original, industry-specific stories. DX++ gives us a destination to bring together our industry perspectives, thought leadership and creative initiatives, creating new ways to connect with the audiences we serve.”
