Visa, the global leader in payments, has announced that it will open a new technology center in India in 2015 and strengthen its technology resources by creating 2,000 full-time technologist positions around the world.
These positions will be a combination of new roles and existing contractor positions that are being converted to full-time positions. The combination of these initiatives will help accelerate the shift to electronic payments and drive innovation in mobile and digital platforms.
Uttam Nayak, Visa’s Group Country Manager India and South Asia, said, “India is known around the world as a hub for technology-led innovation. Visa’s decision to open a new technology development center here further demonstrates our commitment to the region and presents us with an exciting opportunity to grow our internal team from the strong pool of local software engineering talent.“
Teams in the new technology development center will focus primarily on the development of key application programming interfaces (APIs) and software development kits (SDKs) helping an expanding group of global partners to more easily access VisaNet when creating new commerce and payment experiences.
