TIL Desk/Business/Bengaluru/ Global digital payments platform PayPal on Wednesday said that it will hire 1,000 engineers for its India Development Centres across Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad over the course of the year. The move comes despite PayPal announcing last month that it had decided to wind down its domestic payment services in India from April 1.
From April 1, the company will focus all its attention on enabling more international sales for Indian businesses. Revealing the hiring plans for the year in India, the digital payments major said that talent will be hired across software, product development, data science, risk analytics and business analytics streams at entry, mid-level and senior roles.
PayPal India also announced its plans for campus hires from top engineering colleges across India. “Our India Technology Centres are the largest for PayPal outside of the U.S. and play a pivotal role in enabling us to constantly innovate and remain ahead of the curve,” Guru Bhat, Vice President Omni Channel & Customer Success, GM — PayPal India, said in a statement.
