Bengaluru, January 28, 2024: Global investment and retirement savings business Fidelity International has announced that it has doubled its office space in Bengaluru to 50,000 square feet from its earlier 25,000 square feet.

In July 2023, Fidelity International had announced that it was expanding its presence in India with the opening of its first office in Bengaluru that complemented its presence in Gurugram and Mumbai. This expansion was in line with the company’s location strategy that aims to bolster its strategic presence in the country and provides access to a new pool of skilled talent to support the evolving needs of its business and clients. The company had started welcoming new hires in Bengaluru in July 2023 and over the past year-and-a-half, has thoughtfully built its local presence.

Located in Manyata Tech Park, the office’s initial capacity was 25,000 square feet and was planned to expand to 50,000 square feet, to seat 700 to 800 people in a dynamic (hybrid) working set up, in line with the company’s dynamic working policy. Since establishing operations in Bengaluru, it has built specialised capabilities in the city including those across Cyber Security, Infrastructure Services and Asset Management Operations.

We are committed to nurturing capabilities here, developing local talent, and delivering value that will support our global operations and enhance the value we deliver to clients worldwide.”

The workspace matches our global standards. It is welcoming, brings together design that is modern, yet integrates local cultural elements and materials, and evokes a sense of hospitality for our people. It’s a true plug-and-play office, with best-in-class phygital infrastructure, planned for a hybrid working set-up that supports the demands of our business in a sustainable way.”
