About Kiwi General
Kiwi General Insurance is one of India's newest general insurers, registered by IRDAI in March 2026. It is backed by the investment firm WestBridge Capital in partnership with a former chief executive of Tata AIG General Insurance. It is not listed.
The company is based in Bengaluru. After licensing it launched with private motor insurance and is expected to add other retail lines over time.
For an actuary, Kiwi is a start-up insurer: the actuarial function is being built from scratch, so early hires see product design, IRDAI filings, pricing and the first reserving and solvency reports. Teams are small and roles broad, which suits students who want responsibility early but means less structured training than at an established company. Details such as the website and careers page were not available at the time of writing.
What the actuarial team does
- Private motor pricing, building rating factors from market and partner data
- Product design and IRDAI filings for launch products
- Setting up IBNR reserving processes for a new book
- Supporting the Appointed Actuary's first statutory reports
- Solvency and capital planning for the business plan
- Reinsurance structuring for a new insurer
How students get in

Papers required, trainee schemes, internships and exam support are not published. Students should track news of the company's growth and job portal listings for Bengaluru.
