The UNIBA Partners’ network is constantly evolving; new Partners join, IDMs and Senior Contacts change. Although we have the chance to see each other face-to-face, most of the time we are meeting behind our laptops. And in this online environment you might have missed a new Partner joining or a contact changing, right? Through this article-series we will make sure that that doesn’t happen anymore! In ‘Breaking the ice’ we will introduce new Partners, their specialisations, and, perhaps even more importantly, the people behind it.
In this month’s edition, we’re introducing our new Partner in Indonesia, Talisman, represented by their President Director and Founder, Anil Panjwani, and Director, Missi Mikoyo.
For those who didn’t have the chance to meet you just yet, can you please introduce yourself and your company?
Anil Panjwani: I’m Anil Panjwani, the President Director, and Founder of Talisman Insurance Brokers. We started operations in 2005 with a small team of 20. Today, we’re proud to say that we’ve grown to 110+ employees and are now ranked among the top ten insurance brokers in Indonesia. Our focus areas include manufacturing and mining risks, and we fully comply with local regulatory requirements—something that’s become increasingly important in our market.
Missi Mikoyo: I joined Talisman in 2018 and currently serve as Director, overseeing all technical operation (placement & claims), risk management, support functions, and corporate affairs, including international group activities. It’s been an exciting journey, and I’m proud to be part of a company that continues to grow and aims to be among the top five in Indonesia.
Why is “international” important to your company? In other words, why did you decide to join UNIBA Partners?
Anil Panjwani: In our industry, trust is paramount, and building a global network is essential to fostering and reinforcing that trust. Many of our clients are international entities operating in the manufacturing and mining sectors. Joining a network like UNIBA Partners enables us to effectively bridge the gap between global expectations and local compliance requirements. It allows us to stay informed about international developments and provide better support to our clients in navigating both global trends and Indonesian regulatory frameworks.
Missi Mikoyo: As independent brokers, going international is essential. We often compete with global giants like Marsh, and our ability to offer international insight gives us an edge. The network helps us stay globally connected and deliver added value to our clients by combining international knowledge with local expertise.
