Subject to IRDAI approval, Deepak Reddy to take charge as MD & CEO from April 1,
2027
Dr. Tapan Singhel to continue leading the company until March 31, 2027
The leadership transition is in line with IRDAI’s maximum continuous tenure of 15
years for Managing Directors, CEOs and Whole-time Directors
Mumbai/Pune, October 23, 2026: The Board of Directors of Bajaj General Insurance
Limited (formerly known as Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited), a material
unlisted subsidiary of Bajaj Finserv Limited, approved the appointment of Deepak Reddy
as CEO Designate of the company, e(cid:261)ective January 1, 2027. He will take charge as MD &
CEO on 1st April 2027, subject to approval of IRDAI.
Dr. Tapan Singhel will continue as MD & CEO until March 31, 2027, ensuring a seamless
transition. Subject to approval from the Insurance Regulatory and Development
Authority of India (IRDAI), Deepak Reddy will take charge as MD & CEO from April 1, 2027.
Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman and Managing Director, Bajaj Finserv Limited, said, “Few
leaders have the distinction of building an institution from the ground up. Tapan is one of
them. From its early years as a joint venture to its evolution into a wholly Bajaj-owned
company, he has played a defining role in shaping Bajaj General Insurance into one of
India’s most trusted general insurers. Under his leadership, the company has earned a
reputation for underwriting discipline, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to
customers. His legacy is not just a successful business, but a strong institution built to
endure. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Bajaj Group, I thank Tapan for his
exceptional leadership and lasting contribution to the company and to Indian insurance.
As India’s insurance sector enters its next phase of growth, the opportunity to protect
more lives, livelihoods and businesses, is immense. We are delighted to welcome Deepak
to lead Bajaj General into its next chapter. I am confident that Deepak will build on the
strong foundation laid by Tapan and his team, unlock new opportunities and take the
company to greater heights.” he added.
Dr. Tapan Singhel, MD and CEO, Bajaj General Insurance, said, “When we started this
journey, we wanted to build an organisation that would redefine the way insurance is
understood, delivered and experienced. We have always believed that our job is not just
to sell a policy, but to understand customers' worries and find ways to address them. That
has meant challenging conventional thinking, reimagining distribution, pioneering
industry-first initiatives and have the conviction to take bold decisions in our customer’s
interest.
As Bajaj General Insurance enters its next chapter, I am confident that the new team will
continue to push boundaries, find better solutions to customer concerns and stay true to
our purpose of ensuring that our citizens can live a life of dignity.” he added.
Deepak Reddy brings over three decades of experience in financial services, having held
senior leadership positions at Bajaj Finserv, American Express, Standard Chartered Bank
and MIRC Electronics. During his 17 year association with Bajaj Finserv, he played a key
role in building and scaling several businesses and, in his most recent role within the
Group, led the Rural, Insurance and Gold Loan businesses at Bajaj Finance. He was also
Bajaj Finserv’s first Group Head of Human Resources, bringing together business
leadership and organisational development experience. Most recently, he served as Chief
Executive O(cid:262)cer of Manappuram Finance. His extensive experience across financial
services, including insurance, coupled with his understanding of the Bajaj Group,
positions him well to lead Bajaj General Insurance in its next phase of growth.
The planned transition reflects a structured approach to leadership succession, ensuring
continuity of strategy as Bajaj General Insurance builds on its market positioning and
pursues its long-term growth priorities.
