Commenting on the new center and the reason for choosing India, Guy Duncan, Global Chief Technology Officer,Tide UK, said, “With Tide witnessing exponential growth, we needed to look beyond the UK and Bulgaria (where we have a technology and support centre) as it was proving to be difficult to hire quality talent at the required pace. India seemed a natural choice as it offers two distinct and formidable advantages - it has among the world’s most vibrant, innovative and advanced fintech ecosystem and among the largest pool of high quality technology talent. It further helped that our senior leadership has extensive and positive experience in setting up offices and technology centers in India. We look forward to growing the center further and expanding its role in Tide’s global strategy.”
