"India is central to how we're building Payoneer's future. As we work towards becoming an AI-native company, the work happening in Gurugram will directly shape our global platform," said Oren Ryngler, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Payoneer.
"This hub is where we're building key capabilities for our enterprise marketplace clients, financial services and workforce management, and expanding the next generation of our core capabilities. Gurugram is central to our worldwide innovation strategy - not a support site - and I'm excited about what our teams will build here."
Payoneer views India as both an important growth market and a strategic location for building global technology capabilities.
According to the company, India's extensive fintech and AI talent pool positions the Gurugram hub to support enterprise AI deployment while addressing increasingly complex financial technology challenges.
"India is both a critical growth market and where we're building core Platform capabilities that serve our customers globally. India today combines one of the world's deepest pools of fintech and AI engineering talent, making it uniquely positioned for this moment as AI moves from experimentation to enterprise deployment," said Gaurav Gupta, SVP and Platform Site Leader – India, Payoneer.
"We're attracting elite AI and engineering experts here to solve complex problems at scale, allowing us to stay close to our customers while accelerating innovation for businesses around the world."
The expansion comes as Indian businesses continue increasing their participation in global markets, creating greater demand for cross-border payment infrastructure and multi-currency financial services.
Payoneer has continued strengthening its presence in India through regulatory progress and strategic acquisitions, including Skuad, now operating as Payoneer Workforce Management. Combined with its in-principle authorization from the Reserve Bank of India to operate as a Payment Aggregator, the company is expanding localized financial services backed by its global payments platform.
The new Gurugram innovation hub reinforces Payoneer's long-term strategy of combining AI innovation, engineering talent, and global financial infrastructure to support businesses operating across international markets.
