Revolut is set to significantly deepen its presence in India, with plans to locate around 40% of its global workforce in the country by the end of 2026 as it scales up its global capability centre (GCC).
The European fintech firm said it will add approximately 1,600 roles in India over the next year, taking its total headcount in the country to about 5,500. The hiring push will cover a wide range of functions, including product development, customer support, payments processing, and fraud investigation.
The expansion follows a broader investment commitment made in 2025, when Revolut pledged £500 million (about $670 million) toward its India operations and GCC over a five-year period. The company currently employs around 12,000 people worldwide.
India has become a central hub for Revolut’s global operations, reflecting a broader shift in how multinational firms view global capability centres. Once primarily seen as cost-efficient outsourcing units, GCCs in India now handle core functions such as research and development, finance, and advanced operational processes.
Jonathan Beaney, the company’s head of talent acquisition, described India as one of the most dynamic talent markets globally, highlighting the country’s growing importance to Revolut’s long-term strategy.
The India-based GCC already plays a substantial operational role, with nearly one-third of Revolut’s global processes being managed from the country. These include transaction monitoring and AI-driven alert systems, as well as innovations such as video-based KYC processes, which have been developed locally and adapted for use in other markets.
Paroma Chatterjee noted that capabilities built in India are increasingly being exported across the company’s global footprint, particularly in areas related to onboarding efficiency and compliance.
Founded in 2015, Revolut has emerged as one of Europe’s most prominent fintech players, with a valuation of around $75 billion. In India, the company has secured authorization to issue prepaid payment instruments and is preparing to launch its product offering in the coming quarter, marking a key step in its expansion into one of the world’s fastest-growing digital financial markets.
