Vanguard, one of the world’s largest investment management firms, has announced the opening of its first Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Hyderabad, marking a major milestone in the company’s global expansion strategy.
The Hyderabad GCC will serve as a strategic technology and innovation hub, accelerating Vanguard’s focus areas in AI/ML, cloud modernisation, data analytics, and cybersecurity. With an initial workforce target of 300 professionals by end-2025, the firm plans to scale up to over 2,300 tech experts by 2029, establishing one of its most advanced technology operations outside the U.S.
Nitin Tandon, Global Chief Information Officer, Vanguard, said,
“We are tracking ahead of our plan. The response from the talent market has been outstanding we’re seeing exceptional candidates who align with our vision and culture. While our initial goal was around 200 hires by year-end, we now expect to reach nearly 300 by the end of 2025.”
The launch underlines India’s rising role as a global technology innovation powerhouse, with Hyderabad continuing to attract top-tier financial institutions and Fortune 500 firms establishing their global innovation centres in the city. Vanguard’s new GCC will play a pivotal role in reimagining how technology empowers investment management, client experience, and operational efficiency at scale.
