Pravina Ladva, Group Chief Digital & Technology Officer, Swiss Re, said, “Data is an essential fuel for Swiss Re’s business. Swiss Re is already well-positioned in India and expanding our presence with Hyderabad as a new location will provide an opportunity to onboard expertise in key digital roles, which will enable our business and help our clients succeed.”

Amit Kalra, Head Global Business Solutions Centre India, Swiss Re said: ” Swiss Re GBS India’s capabilities enable the company to deliver quality re/insurance services and solutions. With its significant data, digital and tech talent pool, Hyderabad creates new opportunities that complement our existing hub in Bengaluru. We look forward to welcoming new talent from Telangana region, as we shape the future of re/insurance through data insights and innovative insurtech solutions.”

Both the Bengaluru and Hyderabad centres are expected to drive global business impact in reinsurance and deliver better business results for the company. Both locations are currently hiring talent across data science, engineering, among other diverse skilled streams, a release said.
