IRDAI Intermediaries - List of Registered Insurance Brokers (India)

The register itself, not a directory somebody compiled. IRDAI - the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India - publishes the Updated Insurance Brokers List as on 03-02-2026 inside its intermediaries hub as a single bilingual table rendered in Hindi and English, nine columns deep, one row per licensed broker entity.

Four licence classes sit in it: Composite Broker, Direct Broker (Life & General), Direct Broker (General) and Reinsurance Broker. The visible run reads like a who's-who of Indian distribution - Aon, Marsh India, Willis Towers Watson India, Gallagher, Howden and Jio Insurance Broking among at least 159 rows captured before truncation.

Around the main table, the same hub layers sibling registers for corporate agents and telemarketers, insurance marketing firms, individual agents, repositories, ISNP, point-of-sale persons, surveyors, TPAs and web aggregators, plus a What's New stream of circulars, amendment regulations and orders that name specific brokers. Datadory treats that whole intermediaries layer as one catalog, delivered shaped and typed into your environment. Get a sample of this dataset.

One row, nine identifying facts, nothing nested. Illustrative row in the delivered column order:

sl_no             : 1
cor_no            : 101
broker_name       : Marsh India
address           : <bilingual address block - Hindi line, then English>
phone             : <registered-office line on record>
category          : <Composite | Direct (Life & General) | Direct (General) | Reinsurance>
principal_officer : <named officer>
from_to           : 30-Jan-2024 to 29-Jan-2027
po_email          : <principal-officer mailbox>

Read the anatomy rather than the placeholders - your sample arrives with the live values filled in. Three facts do most of the analytical work per row: the CoR number is the regulator's own stable key for the firm, the category sorts reinsurance intermediaries away from retail direct brokers without parsing anything, and the From / To pair turns licence renewal into a date filter. Because addresses print bilingually, deduplication runs on the CoR number, never on fuzzy name matching.

Nine documented fields, checked column-by-column against the rendered table during research - the complete schema for every broker on the register:

Fields documented on the wider intermediaries hub but outside this table ship as additional fields on request: circular titles and order references from the What's New stream, and the sibling registers for corporate agents, insurance marketing firms, web aggregators, TPAs and surveyors. Tell us the analysis you are running and we map those onto your sample rather than shipping columns nobody reads.

• Geography - India, one row per broker licensed to operate nationally, keyed to registered offices across states and union territories.
• Temporal - the current register dated 03-02-2026, with per-broker validity windows typically spanning three years from early 2023 onward, so expiry horizons reach well past the snapshot date.
• Grain - one row per licensed broker entity, at firm level with a named principal officer; no history of prior registrations ships with the table.

Firm-level grain with an inline officer contact is the part competitors rarely match: most India insurance market files stop at aggregate premium volumes, leaving you no way to route an email to the person accountable for a specific licence.

API, files, or your warehouse. Daily, weekly, or hourly.

You pick the channel and the cadence; extraction, cleaning, and schema stability are our problem. When the upstream register changes shape, the feed you consume stays normalized - same columns, same types, same join keys. Bulk pulls land as files, continuous consumption runs through the API, and warehouse-native loads write straight into your own storage. A sample ships first either way, sized to test in your pipelines the same day.

• Lead generation for reinsurance and specialty markets - filter to Reinsurance Broker and Composite Broker rows and you have the intermediary set that places treaty and facultative business, with officer mailboxes attached.
• Counterparty due diligence - confirm a distributor holds a live certificate before binding business; the From / To window answers it in one lookup.
• Market sizing by licence class - counts across the four categories size India's broking capacity from the regulator's own list rather than trade-association estimates.
• Competitive entry tracking - diff consecutive register cuts and newly licensed brokers surface the moment their certificate appears.
• M&A and partnership screening - candidate lists for acquisition or affinity partnerships, pre-filtered to firms whose registrations run past your deal timeline.
• Citation-grade sourcing - reporting and research anchored to the regulator's register, citable down to certificate number.

Sales and growth teams turn the register into an India target list in one filter - category, city and officer contact per row. Competitive intelligence and product teams watch new certificates appear to track who is entering Indian distribution. Market researchers and consultants size the broking market by licence class from the official count. Journalists, academics and students cite the register directly, certificate numbers included. Investors and quant researchers screen broker targets for live registrations before diligence dollars go out.
