Poonawalla Fincorp, a financial-services firm, is gearing up for rapid growth with plans to double its workforce in the coming year. The company, currently employing 2,500 people, aims to onboard an additional 2,500 employees as it expands its operations and builds a robust retail-focused business portfolio.
The firm is actively hiring across various roles to support its ambitious expansion, which includes the addition of new retail lending segments. With this move, Poonawalla Fincorp aims to strengthen its presence across smaller towns and urban centres, leveraging both digital platforms and an expanded physical network.
To support its growing team and customer base, Poonawalla Fincorp plans to increase its branch network significantly. It aims to grow from 100 branches to 500 over the next few years, with 400 branches expected to be operational as early as next year. This expansion will enable the company to reach underserved markets while providing enhanced customer experiences.
The company’s workforce expansion is part of a broader strategy to enhance operational efficiency and meet growing demand for its services. Poonawalla Fincorp is particularly focused on building a tech-savvy and customer-centric workforce to drive its retail and digital initiatives.
This hiring spree comes at a time when financial institutions in India are facing rising operational costs and increased regulatory scrutiny. By doubling its workforce, Poonawalla Fincorp aims to mitigate challenges and position itself as a leader in the rapidly-evolving financial services landscape.
The planned workforce expansion reflects Poonawalla Fincorp’s commitment to scaling its operations and strengthening its market position.
