DBS Bank India is
looking to hire around 1,000 more technology engineers for its technology
centre 'DBS Asia Hub 2' here over the next 24 months, a top official said.
The DBS Group had established a technology hub
DBS Asia Hub 2 in Hyderabad in 2016, the group's largest technology and
operations hub outside of Singapore.
The Singaporean lender is the largest foreign
bank to become a fully-owned local subsidiary.
"The hub has about 2,000 engineers
building smartest solutions, 1,200 software engineers and developers work with
DBS and about 800 who work with partners and build our technology products.
We expect to grow it to 3,000 over the next 24
months," DBS Bank India chief executive Surojit Shome told reporters after
launching its first branch in Hyderabad.
He said they expect the bank's balance sheet to
grow by three times in the next five years from the current Rs 50,000 crore.
The bank invested (capital) Rs 7,700 crore for
its banking business in India and Rs 1,800 crore was invested in 2018.
DBS Bank India currently
operates in 12 cities and intends to establish over 100 customer touchpoints-a
combination of branches and kiosks--across 25 cities in the next 12-18 months
and invest Rs 125 crore to Rs 150 crore on the network expansion.
"Roughly about half of what we develop
(digital solutions) is developed in the second technology centre (DBS Asia Hub
2) in Hyderabad.
We expect to employ around 1,000 more technology
engineers and people with software skills as we build new solutions," he
said.
DBS Asia Hub 2-Head Mohit Kapoor said the
recruitment drive is already on and hiring is done through different channels,
including hackathon.
