The Standard, a U.S.-based provider of insurance, retirement and investment products, has announced the establishment of StanCorp Global Services India Private Limited (The Standard India), a new Global Capability Center aimed at accelerating technology transformation, innovation and business growth.
The company also named Mohua Sengupta as senior vice president and country head for India. Sengupta brings nearly 30 years of experience across BFSI and IT, including leadership roles at Novartis India GCC, 3i Infotech, ITC Infotech, IGATE, Mphasis, Accenture, Wipro and 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.”
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.”
Sengupta will oversee operations in Bengaluru and Pune, including financial, compliance and regulatory responsibilities, and will lead all employees of The Standard India. The center will initially include 175 former Allstate India employees who joined the company after The Standard’s acquisition of the Allstate Employer Voluntary Benefits business on April 1, 2025.
