Payments platform PhonePe is all set to double its headcount this year. It will be expanding its technology and business teams, as well as other functions.
The company is hiring for its engineering, business development, design, and analytics roles, among others. In addition to lateral hires, it has hired from premium business schools and engineering colleges to ramp up tech hiring for this year. The company currently has over 250 people working across the organisation.
“We believe in creating teams that are not just highly competent but also bring to the table varied skill sets and experiences. As a digital payments company, we aim to serve 100% of the population and hence it is imperative that we have strong diversity in the team, all this while maintaining a high hiring bar. We are looking to hire across cities in India as we expand our office network to Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and other metro cities,” said Rahul Chari, co-founder and CTO, PhonePe.
