Dai-ichi Life, Capgemini set up tech centre to support global IT

Dai-ichi Life aims to eventually bring operations in-house.

Capgemini and Dai-ichi Life Holdings have signed a multi-year agreement to establish a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in India, aimed at accelerating Dai-ichi Life Group's global digital transformation.

The GCC will support the group’s IT and digital strategies by tapping into India’s talent pool.

The initiative is intended to enhance in-house digital capabilities and improve technology platforms across operations in Japan, the United States, and Australia, with the option to expand further based on business needs.

Under a Build-Operate-Transfer model, Capgemini will initially manage the centre, focusing on software development, infrastructure modernisation, AI and data solutions, and cybersecurity. 

Dai-ichi Life aims to eventually bring operations in-house to strengthen internal capabilities.
