About Markel (Lloyd's India)
Markel Group is a US holding company based in Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1930 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Its insurance business writes specialty insurance and reinsurance, and in London it manages Markel Syndicate 3000 at Lloyd's.
Markel Services India Private Limited is the service company that lets Syndicate 3000 write Indian reinsurance through the Lloyd's India platform in Mumbai, and it appears on IRDAI's list of reinsurer branches. Indian business written this way typically covers specialty and commercial lines such as professional and financial liability, marine and property.
The Mumbai operation is mainly an underwriting team. No actuarial posting has been found, and pricing, reserving and capital work for the syndicate is done by Markel's actuaries in London. For a student, Markel India is worth knowing about as part of the specialty reinsurance market, but it is not a regular actuarial employer in India.
Also known as: Markel Syndicate 3000
What the actuarial team does
- Data and reporting on the Indian portfolio for syndicate reserving in London
- Pricing support for specialty and commercial reinsurance (done mainly in London)
- Contributions to Lloyd's India branch statutory returns
- Portfolio monitoring with the underwriting team
How students get in
No actuarial vacancy, graduate programme, internship or exam-support policy has been published for Markel in India. Markel lists its jobs on markel.com/about-us/careers, and India openings that appear are usually for underwriting and operations. The papers required are not published. Students interested in specialty insurance and Lloyd's could look at global capability centres and consultancies that serve London market firms, which hire actuarial students more regularly, and treat Markel India as a later move.
