After MR Kumar's term as chairman ended on March 14 of this year, the government had previously approved the appointment of Mohanty as the interim chairman of LIC for a period of three months.

The Financial Services Institutions Bureau (FSIB) recommendation came after it evaluated four candidates for the top LIC job.

Mohanty, who will be the first MD & CEO of the life insurance major, is a postgraduate in political science and also holds a degree in law. He also holds a postgraduate degree in business management and is a licentiate from the Insurance Institute of India. In a career spanning over three decades in the corporation, Mohanty has made his mark in the areas of marketing, HR, investments, legal, and personnel.
