Payments & Fintech GCCs
Payment networks, remittance firms and fintechs build core engineering, fraud, risk and customer operations in India. We bring payments-grade platform engineering, PCI-aware security and automation for operations that cannot go down.
Always-on money movement, engineered in India
What these centres own
Payments centres own transaction platforms, fraud and risk models, settlement and reconciliation operations, and increasingly AI-led customer and dispute operations. Several recent centres were announced explicitly as AI-led from day one.
What's specific to this sector
Payments engineering lives inside scheme rules, PCI-DSS scope and, for India-facing flows, NPCI and RBI requirements, including data-localisation for payment data. Network partitions and gateway timeouts are designed for as expected events, and every write path is safe to retry.
Our engineers have built UPI integrations, payment orchestration, settlement and reconciliation systems for Indian payments products.
How we help Payments centres
Payments-grade platform engineering
Idempotent write paths, zero-downtime releases and reconciliation engines. These are the patterns we have shipped for Indian payment and lending products, applied inside your centre.
PCI-aware security
Network segmentation and tokenisation designed to keep cardholder data out of systems that do not need it, which shrinks the PCI scope your India centre inherits.
Dispute and fraud operations automation
Agents that triage disputes, assemble evidence and pre-screen fraud alerts, with analysts deciding.

Questions about Payments GCCs
How do you keep PCI scope small in a new payments GCC?
By tokenising before data reaches application code and segmenting the few systems that must see cardholder data, so most of the centre sits outside PCI scope.
What does an AI-led payments GCC automate first?
Dispute handling, fraud-alert pre-screening, reconciliation exceptions and customer-operations QA. These are high-volume, rules-heavy processes where agents with human checkpoints pay back quickly.
Do Indian data-localisation rules apply to a GCC?
For payment data relating to Indian payment systems, yes. For HQ data processed in India, HQ-jurisdiction transfer rules and the DPDP Act apply. We map both before architecture is fixed.
