Spread across 165,000 square feet, the new facility will serve as a key hub for digital innovation, technology development, and talent expansion, with a projected workforce of over 2,000 employees within the next four years.

The centre reflects Vanguard’s recognition of India, and particularly Telangana, as a strategic base for innovation and digital transformation.

“Hyderabad represents a thriving technology ecosystem with the talent and ambition that underpin Vanguard’s commitment to deliver a world-class digital experience for investors. We’re thrilled to open our new technology centre and welcome our Vanguard India team members. This hub builds on our decade-long collaboration in the region and will play a vital role in advancing innovation,” said Nitin Tandon, Global Chief Information Officer at Vanguard.

The centre was inaugurated by Duddila Sridhar Babu, Telangana’s Minister for Information Technology, Electronics, Communications, Industries, and Legislative Affairs, who met with Vanguard’s leadership team during the launch event.

With USD 11.6 trillion (Rs 968 trillion) in assets under management as of 30 September 2025, Vanguard is the world’s largest asset management firm. Hyderabad now hosts all seven of the world’s top asset management companies, including Vanguard (USD 12.5 trillion), State Street Global Advisors (USD 5.12 trillion), JPMorgan Asset Management (USD 3.7 trillion), Goldman Sachs (USD 3.2 trillion), Invesco (USD 2 trillion), UBS (USD 1.6 trillion), and Franklin Templeton (USD 1.5 trillion).

“Today, we’re not here to make noise but to quietly position Hyderabad as a global technology and innovation hub. Despite global challenges, we anchored over 70 Global Capability Centres (GCCs) last year and plan to establish 120 more next year, generating over 120,000 jobs,” said the minister.

He added that with the rising demand for deep tech and engineering skills, the government would soon launch a Global Innovation Hub to promote research, breakthrough innovation, and next-generation skill development, taking Hyderabad from an incubation centre to a world-class innovation powerhouse.

Venkatesh Natarajan, Head of Vanguard India, said, “Our people are at the heart of everything we do. This office will merge Vanguard’s mission-driven culture—built on fairness and integrity—with India’s world-class tech talent. Together, we’ll create scalable, meaningful innovations for investors everywhere.”

The Hyderabad GVC will play a central role in advancing Vanguard’s AI and digital transformation goals, driving innovation in financial services and technology, and contributing to India’s expanding digital economy.
