Tazapay Launches Bengaluru Centre of Excellence, Plans to Expand Team to Over 150
Bengaluru, Sep 07: Tazapay, a global payments infrastructure company, announced the opening of its Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru – its largest facility in India to date and a strategic global capability hub. The centre marks a significant expansion of its India presence and strengthens its role in the company’s next phase of technology, product innovation and growth.
The new CoE, located at 315 Work Avenue, Koramangla is spread across 11,000 sq. ft, and currently houses 60 employees. Tazapay plans to expand this team to 150+ over the next 18 months, with hiring focused across Engineering, Product and Treasury Operations – talent that will help build and scale complex global payment infrastructure to serve businesses across the markets Tazapay operates in.
Tazapay‘s engineering, product and treasury teams work on the layers of a cross-border payment that a business never sees: the routing that picks a path for each transaction, whether it runs on traditional fiat or stablecoin rails, the compliance and licensing checks that clear it, the funding and settlement that move the money, and the reconciliation that confirms it landed. Agentic payments are one of the newer workloads that will run on this infrastructure. In a regulated industry, Tazapay expects AI to augment its teams, with human oversight, governance and judgment remaining central.
The company currently enables 1,000 enterprises and fintechs across 30 countries to collect, hold, convert and move money across borders through a single regulated platform, with access to local payment methods across 80+ countries, named virtual accounts in 40+ currencies and payout capabilities across 100+ currencies. Tazapay‘s platform is designed to help businesses expand internationally without establishing local entities or managing multiple payment providers. It also gives fintechs and platforms the underlying infrastructure to offer white-labeled cross-border collections and payouts under their own brand.
Tazapay’s Bengaluru expansion builds on an established presence in India. The company has an engineering centre in Chennai since 2020, a payments and compliance operational base in Delhi, and a Corporate office in Bengaluru. Chennai continues to play an important role in building the technology backbone of Tazapay’s global payments infrastructure, while Bengaluru brings together a broader mix of Engineering, Product and Treasury Operations. The two centres will operate as complementary capabilities supporting Tazapay’s global technology and product roadmap.
The expansion comes as Tazapay scales following the close of its $36 million Series B in March 2026, led by Circle Ventures, with participation from CMT Digital, Coinbase Ventures, Peak XV Partners, Ripple, Norinchukin Capital, GMO Venture Partners, January Capital, ARC180 and RTP Global. The funding is supporting Tazapay’s global expansion, including licensing, go-to-market growth and the development of next-generation payment infrastructure.
Rahul Shinghal, Co-founder and CEO, Tazapay, said at the formal opening of the CoE –
“An important part of building global payment infrastructure is bringing together the people and capabilities that can make that complexity invisible to the businesses using our platform. That is what makes Bengaluru strategically important for Tazapay. We have engineering depth in Chennai, and Bengaluru allows us to bring Engineering, Product and Treasury Operations closer together in one environment, so that the people building the infrastructure are working alongside the teams responsible for how money actually moves. As cross-border payments evolve to include stablecoins, AI and autonomous agents alongside traditional fiat networks, this combination of technology, product and operational expertise will become increasingly important. We see Bengaluru playing a growing role in building that future for Tazapay and for the businesses we serve globally.”
