Parthanil Ghosh, who has been associated with HDFC ERGO General Insurance since 2016, has been appointed executive director with the approval of the Board of Directors of the insurance company.
His appointment came into effect from 1 May 2025, as intimated under SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements). The move has been approved by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) as well as other relevant authorities.
Backed by more than three decades of experience across industries, Ghosh began his professional journey as a humble senior sales executive with NIIT, way back in 1992. He went on to become deputy general manager, Nicco UCO Financial Services.
Over seven years later, in December 2000, he moved to ORIX Auto Infrastructure Services, as regional head-East. Four years into this role, he switched to FamilyCredit, as chief business officer, in December 2004. For the next five odd years he managed business development, pProduct design, sales, marketing, distribution network expansion and partnership including third party product ( insurance) distribution for the Indian consumer credit subsidiary of Societe Generale Group, France.
February of 2010 saw Parthanil Ghosh begin his association with L&T General Insurance as general manager-retail sales. Just over two years into this role, he was elevated to business head-North. Two years later came another promotion that made him national head-retail sales.
In September of 2016, Ghosh joined HDFC ERGO General Insurance, as member of the executive management and group head-retail business. A little less than three years later, he was promoted to president-motor business.
In April 2024, he became director and chief business officer, HDFC ERGO General Insurance. He has been responsible for overall P&L of the organisation and directly leading retail and crop business, underwriting and claims along with technology and digital functions.
Ghosh’s deep understanding of the insurance landscape, along with his exceptional leadership has played a vital role in shaping HDFC ERGO’s growth trajectory.
