Insurance Underwriter
Your morning involves evaluating a ₹500 crore property-all-risk proposal for a petrochemical complex — analysing fire protection systems, process hazard data, and loss history before pricing the risk and deciding on sub-limit structures. Afternoons are spent negotiating reinsurance treaty terms with a London market broker for your marine cargo book, reviewing a new cyber insurance product's policy wordings, and briefing the sales team on underwriting appetite.
