In a bid to strengthen its resources, global payments provider Visa has chosen Bangalore as the site for its new technology center slated to open early next year, and fully staffed by early 2017.
“India is fast becoming a global technology epicenter with an incredible pool of technology talent,” said Nitin Chandel, senior vice-president of Visa’s Developer Platform based in India.
Teams at the new center will focus on the development of key application programming interfaces and software development kits in order to help an expanding group of global partners more easily access VisaNet, the technology backbone to support Visa’s payment innovations and services when creating new commerce and payment experiences.
The announcement is one of many initiatives that Visa has undertaken to strengthen its global technology resources.
