Mehta has worked with Standard Chartered Bank and HDFC Bank in the past, accumulating extensive banking experience in ecosystem banking, supply chain financing, cross-border trade, small, medium enterprise banking and digital lending, the company said.

“I am excited to be working with the board members, employees, business partners and all stakeholders in Tune Protect Malaysia as we make our mark in the general insurance landscape in Malaysia,” said Mehta.

“With my experience in the banking industry, particularly in SME banking, I am also thrilled to be leading the SME solutions developments across the Group,” he added.
