Bhargav Dasgupta , MD & CEO, ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Much like a captain sails their ship through rough waters, a competent leader stands at the helm of their organization. A similarly meticulous leader who has been intricately involved in driving ICICI Lombard on the right trajectory is Bhargav Dasgupta, MD & CEO of the firm. Beyond possessing strong communication skills, realistic optimism, and out-of-the-box thinking, there is an 'X' factor that makes Bhargav loved and respected by his team. This successful modern-day leader transcends convictions and displays mastery by being an open-minded learner, an empathetic mentor, and a customer-focused leader. While he began his journey with (erstwhile) ICICI in 1992 as a Manager, his prolific professional journey led him to the role of MD and CEO at ICICI Lombard in 2009. Since then, the company has made its mark as the country’s largest private non-life insurance firm. His principle of customer-centricity has enabled the organization to introduce several top-notch tech-backed solutions catering to the risk management needs of its customers. Bhargav’s ability to design effective strategies and consistently ensure better performance and growth is highly inspirational, to say the least.
