About Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance
Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance Company Limited (ABSLI) is the life insurance arm of Aditya Birla Capital, the financial services business of the Aditya Birla Group. It started writing business in 2001 as Birla Sun Life Insurance, a joint venture with Sun Life Financial of Canada. Sun Life raised its stake from 26 to 49 per cent in 2016, and Aditya Birla Capital holds the remaining 51 per cent.
ABSLI sells individual savings, protection and unit-linked plans, and has a sizeable group business covering employer schemes and credit life. It distributes through agents, bank partners and brokers. The company is headquartered in Mumbai, and the actuarial team works from the head office.
For an actuary, ABSLI offers a broad mix: individual and group products, participating business, and reporting to two shareholders with different frameworks. Sun Life's involvement means reporting under international standards sits alongside Indian statutory work, and the company has advertised roles in value management and shareholder reporting as well as pricing and valuation.
Also known as: Birla Sun Life Insurance

How students get in
ABSLI hires through the Aditya Birla Capital careers portal, where insurance roles are listed by function. A named actuarial graduate programme is not published. An actuarial vacancy notice on the Institute of Actuaries of India site asked for graduates with three actuarial papers and some years of experience across pricing, value management, shareholder reporting and valuation, which suggests much of the entry is lateral. Fresher intake and internships are not advertised publicly for actuarial roles. Exam-support policy is not published. Watch the Aditya Birla Capital careers page and the IAI job board.
