Mumbai, 21 July: Howden Insurance Brokers India Private Ltd. has been named "Best Broker" at the 4th edition of Insurance Asia News Country Awards for Excellence 2026, one of the industry's most prestigious awards celebrating insurers, brokers, and service providers that are setting new benchmarks across India's insurance sector.

The recognition underscores Howden India's strong corporate governance, sustained business growth, investment in talent, and unwavering commitment to delivering client-centric solutions with integrity. Being honoured among this year's winners reinforces the company's position as one of the most trusted and forward-looking players driving innovation and excellence in the Indian insurance industry.

Mr. Amit Agarwal, CEO of Howden Insurance, said, "We are delighted to receive the 'Best Broker' award at the Insurance Asia News Country Awards for Excellence 2026. This recognition is a testament to the trust our clients place in us, the passion and expertise of our people, and our commitment to delivering differentiated risk advisory and insurance solutions that create long-term value. As businesses navigate an increasingly dynamic risk environment, our role extends beyond insurance placement to becoming a strategic risk partner. We are grateful to our clients, insurer partners, and colleagues for being an integral part of this journey."

As India's insurance sector accelerates towards greater digitization, wider access, and evolving risk landscapes, Howden remains focused on partnering with clients and industry stakeholders to help build an insurance ecosystem that works better for everyone.

Additionally, Howden India was recognised with the award for Best Creative Campaign for its M&A team's inaugural event "We close deals in heels". The campaign centred on celebrating and recognising the powerful women shaping the insurance industry and their allies (across all genders). The event was held in March around International Women’s Day, to highlight the importance of diversity, inclusion, and leadership within the sector.
