As part of NatWest Group India’s expansion plans in the country, the bank is all set to launch its new office in Bagmane Constellation Business Park, Bengaluru. It is a modern and future-ready office space with three times more capacity than the existing office, to accommodate a growing team. The bank already has offices in Chennai and Gurugram. The latest workplace is designed with employee wellbeing at its core, with specific wellbeing spaces and facilities onsite.
It is created to facilitate collaboration and development of skills and talent in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), data and engineering. This modern, sustainable and inclusive workplace is aimed at encouraging collaboration, innovation and flexibility. The state-of-the-art facility spans more than 3,70,000 square feet across 11 floors and is a LEED-certified green building, targeting a gold certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
The Bank is clearly committed to expand its India workforce and further strengthen its global digital capabilities.
Scott Marcar, group chief information officer, NatWest Group, acknowledges that “Bengaluru is home to a dynamic tech industry and highly-skilled workforce and this represents an important milestone as we continue to strengthen our global capabilities”.
According to him, “The opening of our new office reinforces our commitment to meeting our customers’ changing needs through digital transformation, innovation, and operational excellence, with our teams in India continuing to drive innovation across areas such as platform engineering, operations, data and AI.”
Ruchika Panesar, country head – India and chief digital and information officer, group COO functions, NatWest Group, admits, “Our technology transformation is no longer about scale alone. It’s about intelligence, resilience, and impact. With AI reshaping how we build, secure and operate platforms, technology skills such as engineering have become a strategic enabler across the Group”.
In Panesar’s words, “As a long-term strategic asset and engine of growth for the bank, India plays a vital role in NatWest’s ambition to win with customers—by delivering capabilities that are not only future-ready, but also human-centric and enterprise-wide.”
