Prudential is in the process of moving 850 jobs to India within 18 months, according to its implementation partner, ICICI OneSource (I-OneSource).
Other insurers are understood to be watching the situation closely as more companies look to outsource operations.
According to I-OneSource CEO and managing director Ananda Mukherji, Prudential is investing £3.19m to £3.83m to set up a facility that will support 850 jobs.
Mukherji said: "We are currently considering locations like Mumbai and Bangalore to set up a dedicated facility for Prudential. The 850 jobs will be shifted to India in phases."
Prudential plans to shift a major part of its insurance back-office operations to India.
This is the first time that I-OneSource would be setting up a dedicated facility for its any of its clients.
Mukherji said: "This deal is big in terms of manpower and skill requirements and hence the need for a separate facility."
The two companies have not yet finalised the processes to be shifted to India.
I-OneSource is a member of the ICICI Group, an Indian private sector bank.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
