American banking major BNY Mellon is set to ramp up its operations in India with the opening of a new capability centre in Chennai, reported TOI.
Situated at Embassy Splendid Tech Zone, the new facility is said to be BNY Mellon’s largest facility outside of North America and the single largest facility in the country.
The firm, which had three smaller facilities in Chennai, plans to shift all of its product, operations and technology teams into the new capability centre.
The first phase of the eight-floor centre is now operational with more than an area of 3.73 lakh ft² space. The remaining two floors are expected to be open to employees by the third quarter of this year.
The facility is built to house around 6,000 people.
BNY Mellon has around 15,000 employees in India with 1.36 million ft² across Chennai and Pune.
