Both will carry the title CEO.

Prudential plc has announced the appointment of Naveen Tahilyani as Regional CEO for India, Africa, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, with added responsibility for the company’s Health segment.

Tahilyani will assume the role on 29 July and will be based in India. He will also join Prudential’s Group Executive Committee, reporting to CEO Anil Wadhwani.

This appointment follows the previously announced departure of Solmaz Altin, who is returning to Europe.

Tahilyani was most recently managing director and Chief Executive of Tata Digital.

He previously led Tata AIA as CEO for over seven years across two terms, and also headed AIA’s Group Partnership Distribution business in Asia.

He spent 17 years at McKinsey, advising financial institutions across the region.

Separately, Prudential has named Rajeev Mittal as CEO of its asset management arm, Eastspring Investments, effective 1 July.

Based in Singapore, Mittal will also report to Wadhwani and join the Group Executive Committee.

He succeeds Bill Maldonado, who is retiring and returning to the UK. Maldonado will remain an advisor until the end of September and continue as a board member of ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited.

Mittal brings over three decades of experience in asset management across Asia and Europe. He was most recently managing director and head of Asia at Fidelity International.

He also held senior roles at AIG and PineBridge Investments, including CEO positions in both Europe and Asia Pacific.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
