The SSSIHL Centre of Excellence in Actuarial Data Science is a pioneering initiative focused on applying data-driven methodologies to assess, model, and mitigate complex risks across both emerging and traditional sectors. The Centre undertakes collaborative projects with global actuarial bodies, industry partners, and regulatory organizations—advancing research in areas such as Metaverse insurance products, Electric Vehicle loss modeling, Cyber Risk pricing, ESG impact modeling, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency insurance, IFRS 17 implementation, and Solvency II-based capital requirement modeling.
Research at the Centre also spans specialized insurance lines including cancer, crop, and health insurance, with a strong emphasis on fraud detection, revenue protection, and risk-based reserving. Enterprise Risk Management, residual value modeling in real estate, and innovative insurance solutions are part of the Centre’s growing portfolio, making it a hub for cutting-edge actuarial research and application.
In recognition of its academic excellence, SSSIHL was awarded the Gold Level Recognition by the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) in 2023—the highest global honor under the CAS University Recognition Program—making it the first and only Indian university to receive this distinction. The university also earned the CAS University Award in 2022, and has been recognized at the UCAP-Advanced Curriculum level by the Society of Actuaries (SOA), USA.
The Centre supports the B.S. (Hons.) / (Hons. with Research) in Actuarial Data Science programme, which combines statistical acumen, mathematical modeling, behavioral science, and business insights with AI and ML tools to train future-ready actuaries. With its multidimensional approach to real-world risk, the Centre prepares students to make meaningful contributions to industry and society alike.
