The Standard, a leading U.S.-based provider of insurance, retirement and investment solutions, has established StanCorp Global Services India Private Limited (The Standard India), a new Global Capability Center aimed at supporting the company’s technology transformation, strengthening innovation and driving long-term growth.
As part of the expansion, the company has appointed Mohua Sengupta as senior vice president and country head for India. Sengupta brings nearly three decades of experience in banking, financial services and information technology, most recently serving as head of the Novartis India GCC. Her career also includes senior 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.”
Sharing her vision for the new GCC, 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 across Bengaluru and Pune, including financial, compliance and regulatory matters, and will lead all employees of The Standard India. The center will initially include 175 employees transitioning from Allstate India Private Limited, following The Standard’s acquisition of the Allstate Employer Voluntary Benefits business on April 1, 2025.
