HDFC ERGO General Insurance has promoted Parthanil Ghosh to chief executive officer and managing director, effective 16 April 2026, the company announced on LinkedIn late Wednesday.

Ghosh has been with the Munich Re-backed insurer since 2016, most recently serving as executive director before his promotion. He has contributed significantly to major strategic integrations and consolidation initiatives in the company, including the successful integration of acquired L&T General Insurance and Apollo Munich Health Insurance, which created a stronger, unified operating platform, HDFC ERGO said.

He has over three decades of experience and has held several senior leadership roles at L&T General Insurance, among other prior stints.

“Over the years, he has been driving initiatives aimed at enhancing customer trust and transparency in insurance, with a strong focus on improving claims experience, simplifying insurance products and leveraging technology to deliver superior customer outcomes,” HDFC ERGO commented on his appointment.
