Arvind Laddha appointed as President of Ace Insurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd., marking a significant leadership move within India’s insurance, risk advisory, and financial services ecosystem. Based in Mumbai, he brings decades of experience in scaling businesses, shaping insurance innovation, and leading large teams across high-growth environments. His mandate includes strengthening the company’s strategic direction, accelerating market expansion, driving product innovation, and deepening client value through advisory-led insurance solutions.
Before joining Ace Insurance Brokers, Arvind served as President & CFO at Loop, where he played a key role in building India’s first health assurance model backed by cutting-edge technology, data science and a preventive healthcare philosophy. His earlier experience includes serving as President for Mercer India, where he led one of the fastest-growing markets globally for the firm and contributed significantly to leadership development, client advisory capabilities, and operational excellence across functions. His role at JLT Independent as Deputy CEO further contributed to shaping several specialist business verticals across aviation, employee benefits, crop reinsurance, and mass health reinsurance.
Arvind’s entrepreneurial foundation was built during his tenure as Founder & CEO of Vantage Insurance Brokers & Risk Advisors—one of India’s first independent employee benefits broking firms. Under his leadership, the firm pioneered industry-first employee benefits models and became one of the most respected names in the sector before its acquisition. His early experience at Khandwala Securities helped shape his understanding of investments, advisory solutions, and client-led business building.
With a career built across ownership, transformation mandates, global advisory platforms, and innovative healthcare insurance models, Arvind brings a unique 360-degree perspective on the future of insurance and risk advisory in India. His focus at Ace Insurance Brokers is expected to include building future-ready offerings, nurturing people capability, and advancing the firm’s national and global footprint.
