PayPal, which employees over 4,500 people at its Indian technology centres, is also eying campus recruitments from top engineering colleges across the country to ramp up hiring.

The news follows PayPal’s announcement last month to shutter its domestic payment services in India from April this year, to focus solely on its cross-border remittance business for SMBs in the Indian export ecosystem.

PayPal India general manager and Omni Channel & Customer Success vice-president Guru Bhat said: “Our India Technology Centres are the largest for PayPal outside of the US and play a pivotal role in enabling us to constantly innovate and remain ahead of the curve.

“As digital payments move from a nice to have to an essential service, we are focused on investing in and nurturing world class technology talent to continue to offer products and services that meet the needs of our growing base of consumers and merchants.”
