Ghosh will take over from Anuj Tyagi, who has been leading the company in recent years.
The decision was approved by the company’s Board of Directors and his appointment is set to take effect from April 16, 2026, subject to approvals from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India and other required clearances.
Ghosh has more than 30 years of experience in financial services and insurance. He has spent over 16 years working in the general insurance sector and has held several leadership roles during his career.
He joined HDFC ERGO in 2016 after the company integrated L&T General Insurance into its business. Since May 2025, he had been serving as the Executive Director of the company.
During his time at the insurance firm, Ghosh has worked across several areas of the business including retail insurance, commercial lines, crop insurance, underwriting, reinsurance strategy, claims management and technology initiatives.
He has also played an important role in the company’s integration efforts following acquisitions. This included the integration of L&T General Insurance and later Apollo Munich Health Insurance, which helped strengthen the company’s operations and expand its presence in the health insurance segment.
Commenting on the appointment, Keki M Mistry, Chairman of HDFC ERGO, said Ghosh has been an important part of the company’s growth in recent years and has helped strengthen its position in the market.
“Parthanil brings in extensive industry knowledge, deep operational insight and strong strategic leadership to the role. He has been a key contributor to the Company’s progress and success in recent years, enabling HDFC ERGO to strengthen its market position and in building a culture focused on customer trust, technical excellence and sustainable growth,” he said.
“The Board is confident that he will build on that success story and take the company to the next level. At the same time, we thank Anuj Tyagi for his outstanding work and wish him the best in his future entrepreneurial pursuits,” the Chairman added.
