Ramakrishnan Chander Managing Director, LIC of India
Archive Photographic plates and documentary sources

Everything this record is built on, listed

Two photographs of Ramakrishnan Chander have been verified for use here, and both are shown in full below at their original proportions. Beneath them is the documentary record: the published sources from which every fact on this site is drawn.

Plate 01

The portrait of appointment

This is the photograph Life Insurance Corporation of India issued with its press release of 2 December 2025 announcing that Ramakrishnan Chander had taken charge as Managing Director. It is the primary photographic record of the appointment, and its identification is certain: the same image appears in the Corporation’s own release under his name.

The office portrait

A second official portrait, supplied for this record. The subject is the same person shown in Plate 01. The source file carries no caption, date or location, and so none is stated here; the setting is an office interior with a glazed wall behind the subject.

External links open on the publishers’ own sites and are outside the control of this record. Where a source has since been moved or withdrawn by its publisher, the fact it supports remains attributed to it here.

On photographs not used

Five image files were supplied for this project. Two are shown above. The remaining three — a group photograph in a wood-panelled office, a low-resolution photograph of a platform event, and a photograph of three men at a celebration — could not be verified as depicting Ramakrishnan Chander when compared against the portrait LIC published under his name. Rather than caption people who may not be the subject, they have been left out. They remain available and can be added to this archive with proper captions at any time if their subjects and occasions are confirmed.
