Revolut to base 40% of workforce in India by 2026 amid GCC expansion

Summary

Revolut plans to base 40% of its global workforce in India by 2026.
The company will add 1,600 roles as it expands its global capability centre.

BENGALURU, March 26, 2026 — Revolut plans to base around 40% of its global workforce in India by the end of 2026, as it expands its global capability centre (GCC) in the country.

The fintech firm, which committed 500 million pounds ($669.8 million) in 2025 toward its India operations and GCC over five years, aims to add 1,600 roles by 2026, taking its India headcount to about 5,500 employees.

The hiring will span product development, customer support, and core financial services functions, including payment processing and fraud investigation. Revolut currently employs approximately 12,000 people globally.

India-based GCCs, once primarily focused on cost efficiency, are increasingly taking on critical roles such as operations, finance, and research and development for multinational companies.

Jonathan Beaney, head of talent acquisition at Revolut, described India as one of the “deepest and most dynamic talent pools in the world,” pointing to its growing strategic importance in the company’s global expansion.

He added that the India technology hub plays a central role in scaling operations globally, supported by a strong base of technical expertise.

The GCC expansion is separate from Revolut’s domestic India business. According to India CEO Paroma Chatterjee, about one-third of the company’s processes are already managed from India, including transaction monitoring and AI-driven alert systems.

Chatterjee also noted that innovations developed in India, such as video-based KYC systems, are being deployed across global markets to improve onboarding and operational efficiency.

Founded in 2015, Revolut is valued at around $75 billion and is among Europe’s leading fintech firms.

In India, the company has received regulatory approval to issue prepaid payment instruments and is targeting a product launch in the next quarter.

Why this matters

• Highlights India’s growing role as a global fintech and technology hub
