Specialist re/insurance broker Tysers has announced the addition of senior brokers Neelima Shivaranjani (pictured above, left) and Surabhi Mehrotra (pictured above, right) to its team in Singapore. This move is part of Tysers’ strategy to expand and enhance its global reinsurance services.

Shivaranjani brings over 15 years of experience in specialty lines reinsurance across the Asia-Pacific region. With a background as both a direct and reinsurance underwriter in treaty and facultative reinsurance, she has a comprehensive understanding of the direct and reinsurance markets.

Her expertise lies in financial and casualty lines, including directors and officers (D&O) liability, professional indemnity, and cyber insurance. Shivaranjani has a proven track record in structuring treaty and facultative reinsurance solutions tailored to global clients’ needs.

Mehrotra has extensive experience in insurance and reinsurance broking, particularly in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SARC) region. Her 15-plus years of experience include handling global risks and reinsurance placements in Singapore.

Mehrotra’s specialties include property, engineering, energy, terrorism, and political violence placements. In her previous role, she was instrumental in developing client relationships and providing solutions for non-marine business, both treaty and facultative.

Babita Rai, managing director of reinsurance in Singapore, said that both Shivaranjani and Mehrotra bring valuable experience in providing clients with innovative solutions for complex reinsurance risks.

“They are joining Tysers, a company with a fantastic culture, at an exciting time, and I am looking forward to working with them as we continue to grow our reinsurance offering and provide a superior client service in APAC by combining deep local knowledge with global expertise,” Rai said.

Tom Wilson, senior managing director of marine and aviation, said the appointments reflect Tysers’ strategy of regional growth and its ability to attract and retain top talent.

“The expansion of the reinsurance team in APAC supports our commitment to the region and reinsurance where we see long-term growth opportunities,” Wilson said.
