About HSBC India (Global Service Centres)
HSBC India's Global Service Centres are the bank's Indian operations centres, run through entities including HSBC Electronic Data Processing India Private Limited and HSBC Global Services (India). They have offices in Gurugram, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Hyderabad.
Actuarial staff sit in the Independent Model Review team for insurance, pensions, finance and wealth. This team validates the actuarial models used by HSBC's life insurance businesses and pension schemes, including Prophet models and IFRS 17 calculations, independently of the teams that build them. Postings from 2023 to 2025 sought an AVP, Lead Actuarial Independent Model Review and a VP, Actuarial IMR.
For a student, this is model validation work inside a bank: reviewing assumptions, methods and code rather than running valuations. It suits people who already have model-building experience at an insurer or consultancy.
