9: Full Conversation: Sanjeev Mantri - Executive Director, ICICI Lombard on Running Marathons, Playing Tennis despite Injuries
In this episode of TalkCXOLife, we have with us the swift, agile and moderately risk-averse (well, he's an insurer!) Sanjeev Mantri, Executive Director, ICICI Lombard in conversation with Sunayana Nair. Sanjeev is a seasoned banker, spearheading the marketing initiatives of the retail division at the largest private general insurance company and is credited with the very many innovative solutions and strategies introduced especially in the SME and also the rural banking markets over his two-decade-plus experience in the BFSI sector and the ICICI group. He is equally known for his obsessive penchant for running and playing tennis, in spite of the very many injuries that consistently plague this sports freak who loves to be on the go, can laugh and cry easily and whose mercurial wit had us in splits as he conversed about his lively, simple and bit of a notorious childhood spent just on the outskirts of the ancient city Ujjain, his move to Mumbai, how he loves to run and talk, how his biggest worries often revolve around choosing between running and tennis the next morning and his firm belief that he is a part of the design than being its creator!
