Special Episode: Seeking quality premium in motion with Madhu Tadikonda, President, Corvus Insurance

Corvus Insurance is a young business that is moving so fast that
to those of us looking in from the outside could be forgiven for
seeing something of a blur. For instance, should we look at this
business as a specialist cyber underwriter or should we see a
cyber technology provider or indeed a much broader data-driven
insurtech company that is class-agnostic? The answer is probably
a blend of all three. That’s why it’s so valuable to speak to
someone of the calibre of Madhu Tadikonda, Corvus’s President. As
a tech entrepreneur who then rose rapidly to become AIG’s Global
Chief Underwriting Officer, Madhu has had a stellar insurance
career of his own before joining up with Corvus last year. In
this really lively podcast I get Madhu to explain all of the
moving parts within Corvus and distil the common themes. In doing
so we get a front-row view of the challenges and opportunities
facing the cyber market, run through the rationale behind
Corvus’s recent acquisition of cyber MGA Tarian Underwriting and
look into what other classes are catching this progressive
business’s eye. I’d say what really makes Corvus tick is a real
affinity for the fastest growing insurance classes where client
need, demand and opportunity are greatest. This is then coupled
with the realisation that the most important risks of the future
are becoming much more dynamic and that the most successful
underwriters of tomorrow are going to have to be much faster
learners than their predecessors and be much more engaged and
helpful to their customers. Almost paradoxically Corvus looks
very much like an ultra-traditional insurance business… except
that its way of going about things is anything but! It’s
fascinating stuff. LINKS https://www.corvusinsurance.com
