    Suresh Menon, CEO Diligenta said “Diligenta’s track record of successfully migrating over 6 million Life and Pensions policies on to our industry-leading, platform solution TCS BaNCS, contributed directly to this win. We are proud that FPI has chosen to partner with Diligenta and we will work together to help support their growth strategy.”
