Digital-first insurer ACKO has strengthened its leadership team with four senior appointments across its auto, health, customer experience and mobility ecosystem businesses as it prepares for the initial public offering (IPO).The company has appointed Apoorv Kalra, former Chief Product Officer at Junglee Games, to lead its auto business. Kunal Kapur, previously with Meta, will head the health business while Vivek Sharma, founder of Fixcraft, will lead the ACKO Drive Ecosystem. Neha Gupta, formerly with Zepto, has joined to lead the assisted experience.In a statement on Wednesday, the Bengaluru-based insurer said the appointments are aimed at integrating product, business and customer experience functions under unified leadership to enable faster execution and improve customer outcomes.ACKO Chief People Officer Satheesh KV said the new leaders bring operational expertise and judgment that can help deliver faster decisions, better products and improved customer service.According to the company, the revised structure is designed to bring product development, business strategy, pricing, operations and customer experience under single-threaded ownership, reducing the distance between decision-making and customer needs.ACKO operates a direct-to-consumer (D2C) insurance model and offers motor and health insurance products through digital channels. The company said it remains focused on building a more tightly integrated and execution-driven organisation while scaling sustainably.Earlier in April, ACKO appointed ICICI Securities, Morgan Stanley and Kotak Securities as book-running lead managers for its proposed IPO. Sources had indicated that the company is targeting a valuation of about USD 2-2.5 billion.ACKO is expected to file draft papers with the capital markets regulator SEBI in the coming months.Published on June 3, 2026
