Insurance Products & Services business is an IP driven business model and is largely US centric. This business needs investments to capitalize on the large opportunity in US market. At the same time, Vertical Solutions business which is focused in the UK market, needs to address newer opportunities and expand the client footprint. Restructuring will enable both the businesses to function independently and focus on their growth plans.
- Businesses are different in terms of business model, growth opportunities, investment required and staff profile.
