About WNS
WNS is a business-process and analytics company that started in 1996 as an in-house unit of British Airways and grew into a large independent firm with most of its staff in India. In 2025 it was acquired by Capgemini, the French IT services group, and now operates as a Capgemini company.
WNS has a substantial actuarial practice based in Gurugram, with Pune, Bengaluru and Mumbai also hiring. Its teams serve UK pension schemes and their advisers, UK and US life insurers (largely using Prophet), and general insurers on pricing, including cyber pricing.
For an actuarial student, WNS is among the bigger volume recruiters and one of the few Indian employers with steady UK pensions work. It runs open referral drives for actuarial services across India, which makes it a realistic first step for students with a few papers.
