New Delhi: Equisoft, a leading global financial technology company providing advanced digital solutions for the insurance and wealth industries, today officially announced the appointment of Rana Biswas, a financial services industry veteran, as its Asia-Pacific (APAC) Sales Director. With its world-class, cutting-edge technology solutions, Equisoft has created and delivered substantial strategic business value for reputed companies in the insurance and wealth management domain across the globe. The company has a global footprint across multiple regions, including United States, Canada, Chile, South Africa and is now scaling up rapidly in APAC, beginning with India.

Shifting client needs and an ever-increasing regulatory scrutiny have created a huge opportunity for modern technologies that could transform the way customer experience is delivered and perceived. Equisoft is playing an active role in helping insurance and wealth management companies modernize their business with its advanced digital solutions optimized through a deep understanding of business goals and challenges.

Equisoft identified  APAC as one of the key drivers  of the company’s growth and established an office in India in 2016 with plans to scale up progressively in the region. At a time when global challenges are increasing, it is critical for world-wide companies to bring in international leaders who also have local expertise.

On his appointment, Rana said, “I am very excited with my new role at Equisoft. My key priority  is to build a robust customer base across the APAC region. With my expertise, I am sure I will be able to add significant value and deliver positive business impact.

Equisoft is committed to becoming a strong partner for our clients in the region and providing its world-class technology and deep domain knowledge.”

Simon Richardson, Vice President, EMEA & APAC, Equisoft, said, “At Equisoft, we empower our customers to gain a strong foothold in their respective domains and all our partners have played a significant role in our growth journey.
