Ep144 Talbir Bains Group CEO Volante Global: I’d rather lose doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing

November 15, 2022

I think Talbir Bains is one of the most single-minded and driven people I have ever had on the show.

He is also moving incredibly quickly.

Since the last time I spoke to him back in 2020 his Volante Global business has grown premium substantially, found new ownership as part of the Acrisure Group and launched a Syndicate at Lloyd’s.

I just had to get him back to make sure we kept up with all the things that have happened in the last 24 months.

And I am really glad I did, because despite the apparent whirlwind surrounding him and his fast-growing business, it is Talbir’s rock-solid convictions that permeate every minute of this podcast.

Volante is a business with a focus on underwriting profit that is bordering on obsession and five minutes with Talbir can leave you in no doubt that this company’s uncompromising philosophy and culture originates directly from him.

Talbir has also been through a life-changing personal experience since we last met and that only heightened the intensity of talking to him face to face once more

I can’t help thinking we could all learn an awful lot not just from listening to what Talbir has to say, but by studying precisely what he has done to position Volante as an underwriting business that is so consistently highly rated and respected by its peers and stakeholders.

Of course, living and breathing underwriting discipline is far easier said than done, so listen on and see if you can get some of Talbir’s passion and belief to rub off onto you.
