He replaces Sat Pal Bhanoo, who served as interim MD and CEO from June 8 to September 7, 2025, after the end of Siddhartha Mohanty’s term on June 7.
LIC, which is a listed company under the Ministry of Finance, is one of the largest financial institutions in India. The leadership includes one CEO and MD, supported by four Managing Directors. The appointment of a new full-time CEO is expected to bring more stability and direction to the organisation’s long-term goals.
