Reviews

B.V. Manigandan

National Life & General Insurance

We have been working with Continental for the last two years, and honestly I think you have the best EB Department. Each and every individual I have met with and spoken to, carry out their tasks with utmost professionalism. I have been really lucky to develop a strong relationship with the team within the span of time.

Thank you and congratulations on your 20 years!

Adil Sadri

Finance Manager at SONY GULF FZE

The service and support I have received from Continental has been commendable. In the 4 years since I started with them, they have continued to get better and better, and it is always a pleasure to interact with them.

Shahistha Kasim

Sales Support Administrator at Shuraa Management & Consultancy

We researched many companies for our organisation’s medical insurance requirements. Continental Insurance Brokers and, in particular, Mr. Asfar came quite highly recommended to us. From the beginning, we have found them to be extremely professional and Asfar has on more than one occasion gone the extra mile for our company. He always makes himself available and responds quickly. We would highly recommend Continental for its competitiveness and professionalism. We would like to thank Mr. Asfar for his service to us over the past two years.

Devang Bhatt

Senior Accountant at Ince & co

Aadil is a very good financial advisor. For several years, I kept thinking about getting my financial planning done, and once by chance, I heard him on the radio and then met him. I was able to change the status quo and act to make my aspirations a reality. He not only made me aware of my immediate financial goals but also, within a span of a year, got me started on my financial planning.

I think if I had not met him, I might have still been only thinking rather than putting my plans into action, which thanks to Continental and Aadil I have started and am on the road to financial security.

Mammta Shoroff

I have been associated with Continental for the past 11 years. Every team I have worked on is filled with motivated people who care for each other because Continental takes care of them. The company’s leadership has successfully internalized the goals and objectives, and all the employees feel appreciated and recognized for their dedication and hard work.

Another great thing about working at Continental is that a ‘typical day’ is never typical. Something challenging always happens, and every day is filled with new learning opportunities. I am grateful to work at a place that enables its employees to grow to greater heights.

Overall Continental gives me the job satisfaction I have always wanted for!! I feel proud to be an employee of Continental.
