Pro MGA Global Solutions supports the launch of MGA Nirvana

Backed by A+ rated Lloyd’s and companies market capacity, Nirvana Risk Partners is a specialist underwriting team focused on the media, technology and cyber sectors targeting organic and inorganic growth to fuel its expansion

London, 17 April, 2023: Pro MGA Global Solutions, the independent managing general agent (MGA) incubation division of global re/insurance trusted guidance provider, Pro Global Holdings Limited (Pro), is excited to announce its incubation partnership with specialty MGA Nirvana.

Nirvana is led by CEO Kabir Chanrai and Executive Chairman Rob Jones, together with Head of Europe Thomas Mannsdorfer and experienced Sector Underwriter Glenn Crickmar. The business was established in 2017 as part of Castel Underwriting agencies (Castel), and the incubation partnership with Pro MGA Global Solutions follows Nirvana’s successful management-led buyout (MBO) from Castel in March 2023.

Nirvana’s insurance portfolio encompasses media liability; film and television liability; technology liability; and cyber liability developed for all sizes of business from SMEs to larger corporates. Nirvana has ambitious plans to grow into a diversified service- and underwriting-first MGA through hires and acquisitions of existing MGAs.

Pro MGA Global Solutions will provide regulatory, operational and technical support to help the team at Nirvana continue their successful growth.

Kabir Chanrai said: “Nirvana’s goal is to deliver insurance solutions that span the full risk spectrum, and as we move onto the next phase of our growth, we are focused on expanding the innovative global package of media and technology liability products we have developed through both organic and inorganic channels.

Following the buyout, we are looking for a seamless transition to an independent MGA, and we are very pleased to be partnering with Danny and team, who I’m confident will apply their leading technical expertise to continue to enable the global vision of our business.

This is a very exciting time to be launching Nirvana independently, and I’m looking forward to driving ahead with our underwriting first and service first mindset. With Pro MGA Global Solutions’ expert support, we can stay focused on pursuing our long-term growth strategy and delivering valuable solutions to our clients.”

Danny Maleary, CEO of Pro MGA Global Solutions, added: “It’s a pleasure to work with the entrepreneurial Nirvana team who have so successfully built out the business focusing on innovative and profitable cyber, media and technology liability products.

Here at Pro MGA Global Solutions, we have extensive experience of the Lloyd’s and London company markets across a wide range of disciplines in brokers, service providers and insurers, as well as highly relevant experience in the MGA arena across the companies market and international platforms.

I’m looking forward to bringing the full strength of our network to bear to support the strong growth that is on the horizon for Nirvana in a sustainable way by providing a platform with full regulatory oversight and operational support. This will empower the high caliber Nirvana team to focus on what they do best: developing innovative products that help solve real world challenges for their clients.”
