The Standard, a leading provider of insurance, retirement and investment products in the United States, opened its new global capability centre today in Embassy Tech Village in Bengaluru. This marks the next phase of the company’s growth journey in India following the launch of The Standard India operations in November 2025. The facility — inaugurated by Shri Priyank Kharge, minister for Electronics, IT and Biotechnology, Government of Karnataka — supports the continued expansion of capabilities across AI engineering, cloud platform development, data and analytics, digital transformation and insurance operations aligned with the company’s global strategy.
The inauguration marks the opening of The Standard India’s permanent Bengaluru office facility, with plans for long-term expansion of capabilities in software engineering, total experience, AI and enterprise platforms as the company continues strengthening in-house technology expertise aligned with its long-term transformation roadmap.
“Our operations in India play an increasingly important role in our technology transformation,” said Greg Chandler, executive vice president of Information Technology at The Standard. “The launch of The Standard India strengthens our ability to fuel ongoing growth, innovate, scale technology capabilities, accelerate digital transformation and offer new solutions to our customers faster. This centre represents a long-term investment in world-class talent and reflects our confidence in India as a strategic partner in shaping the future of our business.
Since establishing its presence in India in November 2025, The Standard continues to strengthen its local leadership team across finance, human resources, talent acquisition, information technology, administration and communications.
“The Standard India is an integrated capability hub that supports engineering, data, AI and insurance operations,” said Mohua Sengupta, senior vice president and country head at The Standard India. “Our structure combines enterprise scale with startup agility, giving employees both stability and the opportunity to build greenfield capabilities while working closely with our global teams. As we continue expanding leadership roles and high-impact technology functions in India, the centre will have an important role in advancing The Standard’s long-term growth, innovation and transformation priorities.”
Strategic capability mandate
The Standard India will significantly contribute to advancing companywide priorities. It will also support the transition of select technology work from vendor-led delivery to in-house engineering teams — strengthening agility, operational efficiency and long-term innovation capabilities.
India continues to be a strategic destination for global capability centres that support financial services innovation, offering deep expertise across engineering, digital platforms and enterprise technology transformation. Bengaluru’s mature innovation ecosystem, strong academic institutions and global technology workforce make it a natural location for The Standard’s inaugural centre.
