The GCC is led by Nipun Mapara as Managing Director, with Sanjeev Poojari serving as Head of Operations.
Supporting Global Operations
As an integrated part of the organization, the BMS India GCC will work closely with BMS teams worldwide across broking operations, data, analytics, technology, and client service functions.
The centre forms a key component of BMS’s long-term operating model, expanding access to talent, specialist skills, and AI expertise in India while strengthening collaboration and consistency across the business.
