Car Lease Benefit:
The car lease process at Ujjivan was seamless, thanks to the HR team who provided exceptional support and addressed all my queries. The team onboarded Car Lease Service Provider in record time and secured the best rates for employees. And the service provider further ensured I received the best deal from the car dealer. I highly recommend the Ujjivan Car Lease Facility to all eligible employees looking to purchase a new car with confidence.

Car lease benifit
I am truly grateful to Ujjivan for the timely support during a critical time for my family. During the February 2024 enrolment, I opted for the 15 lakh insurance slab with guidance from the HR team. This decision proved invaluable when my father was diagnosed with cancer, requiring hospitalization every three weeks. Thanks to the cashless claim facility, 80% of the expenses were covered smoothly, with prompt approvals and clear communication. This experience reinforced the importance of higher coverage for medical security. A heartfelt thanks to Ujjivan, HR & Insurance team, for their unwavering support.
