Bhargav Dasgupta has resigned from the role as Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ICICI Lombard. The company has confirmed that he will continue to discharge his duties until his final working day, which will be communicated in due course.
Dasgupta, who has served as MD and CEO for nearly 14 years, was originally expected to conclude his tenure in April 2024. As the succession planning process is initiated, ICICI Lombard is actively searching for a successor to fill this leadership role.
