ARPAN SIKDER

VP Inside Desk and Catatrophe — PURE Insurance

Arpan Sikder has almost 30 years of experience in the property claims industry. Currently serving as Vice President of Catastrophe and Inside Desk Claims at PURE Insurance. After graduating Rutgers University with a degree in History/Political Science and a Minor in Film I had every intention to become a documentary film maker. So of course, the logical next step would be to work in insurance for a carrier handling property claims. I worked for State Farm as a property field adjuster for 7 years, 2 years at Travelers, 7 years at Chubb and the last 12 years at PURE. I am still working on making that documentary film, but life got in the way and I met my wife have 2 wonderful kids and spend my time watching them pursue their goals of volleyball, soccer and acting. In my free time I teach martial arts, play softball, fishing and smoke a good cigar.
