Bengaluru: The Standard, an U.S.-based provider of insurance, retirement and investment products, today announced the launch of StanCorp Global Services India Private Limited (The Standard India), its new Global Capability Center (GCC) in India. The new GCC will play a central role in advancing the company’s technology transformation, accelerating innovation and supporting its long-term growth strategy, while creating high-value employment opportunities in the country.
The company also announced the appointment of Mohua Sengupta as Senior Vice President and Country Head for India. Sengupta brings nearly three decades of experience across banking, financial services and information technology. Prior to this appointment, she served as Head of the Novartis India GCC and has held senior leadership roles at 3i Infotech, ITC Infotech, IGATE, Mphasis, Accenture, Wipro and the Royal Bank of Canada.
“I’m excited to welcome Mohua to The Standard to lead our operations in India,” said Greg Chandler, executive vice president of Information Technology at The Standard. “Her skills and leadership characteristics fit well with The Standard’s culture and she will be an incredible asset to our company as we scale and grow our U.S. business.”
Expressing her enthusiasm about the new role and the company’s investment in India, Mohua Sengupta said, “I’m delighted to join The Standard during this exciting time of rapid growth. The Standard India will provide access to specialized global talent here in India who will deliver more efficient solutions for current and future customers, and scale more sustainably.”
In her new position, Sengupta will oversee operations across the company’s sites in Bengaluru and Pune, including financial, compliance and regulatory functions. She will also be responsible for leading and managing all employees of The Standard India.
The new GCC will initially onboard 175 employees transitioning from Allstate India Private Limited, who now become full-time employees of The Standard India. This follows The Standard’s acquisition of the Allstate Employer Voluntary Benefits business earlier this year on April 1, 2025.
