Universal Sompo General Insurance has appointed Amit Bhandari as its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, subject to approval from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI).
Bhandari brings experience across the insurance and financial-services sectors and is expected to lead the company’s next phase of growth and business development.
His appointment comes at a time when India’s general insurance industry is focusing increasingly on profitable growth, underwriting discipline, technology adoption and customer-centric distribution.
As MD & CEO, Bhandari will be responsible for steering the company’s overall business strategy, including growth across insurance segments, operational efficiency and strengthening its market position.
Leadership changes at general insurers are particularly significant as the industry continues to navigate challenges around claims costs, pricing, distribution economics, digital transformation and underwriting profitability.
The appointment remains subject to the regulatory approval process, making IRDAI’s clearance the next key step before Bhandari formally assumes the position.
