U.K.-based Revolut is reportedly planning to grow its team in India this year. The crypto-focused fintech platform is looking to have 40 percent of its global workforce based in India this year, Reuters reported on Wednesday citing senior level officials.
Revolut, throughout 2026, plans to hire for 1,600 roles in to work from India. This hiring spree will take its total staff headcount to 5,500 by the end of 2026.
Internal teams tacking payment processing, fraud identification, and product development are being strategized to operate from the Asian subcontinent.
India’s diverse pool of engineers and tech talent has emerged as an attractive factor for Revolut, Reuters reported citing company’s head of talent acquisition , Jonathan Beaney.
“Our India tech hub is central to our global scale… the technical caliber, ambition and excellence we see here make India a natural long-term home for Revolut,” Beaney was quoted as saying.
Revolut had established a corporate presence in India back in 2021 with Paroma Chatterjee appointed as the CEO of its India operations. At the time, the company had announced an initial investment of $25 million to scale its India operations.
The company also set up its Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, India’s Silicon Valley, and has since hired a workforce of around 4,000 individuals for the GCC. This team looks after tasks like Revolut’s transaction monitoring, payment processing, and AI/ML development initiatives.
In October 2025, Revolut committed an investment of $669.8 million over a period of five years to scale its India working. The announcement was made by Revolut’s Group Chief Banking Officer, Siddhartha Jajodia.
On LinkedIn, Revolut has already posted India-centric job openings for the roles of support specialist, graduate operations manager, and treasury manager.
In the last four years, the company has clearly doubled down on its India expansion. Its decision to grow its work force there seems like a natural extension of its efforts. In February, an early Revolut investor Max Karpis had also posted about the company’s India plans on X.
Despite being a crypto major internationally, Revolut is yet to launch its crypto services in India owing to regulatory unclarity. For now, it offers traditional finance services like integrated UPI payments, domestic card offerings, and cyber fraud insurance plans in the country.
In order to offer crypto services, the platform will first need to get an approval from India’s Financial Intelligence Unit and agree to comply with the national anti money-laundering, KYC, and counter terror financing laws.
The country is yet to finalize its crypto rules on a comprehensive level. Meanwhile, crypto holding, trading, and investing is permitted in the country with profits taxed at 30 percent.
