Vanguard opens Global Value Center in Hyderabad, boosting tech innovation

Vanguard, one of the world's largest asset management companies, launched its Global Value Centre in Hyderabad, reinforcing the city's status as a global hub for financial innovation

Vanguard, one of the world’s leading investment management companies, on Monday announced the official launch of its global value center (GVC) in Hyderabad, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s technology transformation. 

 

This centre reflects Vanguard’s recognition of India, and particularly Telangana, as a strategic centre for innovation, talent development, and digital transformation. The centre spread over 165,000 square feet is expected to have a headcount of over 2,000 in four years. 

“Hyderabad represents a thriving technology ecosystem with talent and ambition that underpins Vanguard’s commitment to provide our investors a world-class digital experience. We’re excited to open our new technology centre in Hyderabad and to welcome our new Vanguard India crew members. This technology hub builds on our decade-long collaboration in the region and will play a vital role in advancing innovation in support of our mission,” said Nitin Tandon, global chief information officer at Vanguard. 

 

Duddila Sridhar Babu, minister for information technology, electronics, communications, industries, & legislative affairs, government of Telangana, inaugurated Vanguard’s GVC and met with the company’s leadership team. 

 

With over $11.6 trillion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025, Vanguard stands as the world’s largest asset management company, joining an elite group of global financial leaders that have chosen Hyderabad as their innovation hub. 

 

The city now hosts all seven of the world’s top asset management companies, including Vanguard ($12.5 trillion), State Street Global Advisors ($5.12 trillion), and JPMorgan Asset Management ($3.7 trillion), along with other major players such as Goldman Sachs ($3.2 trillion), Invesco ($2 trillion), UBS ($1.6 trillion), and Franklin Templeton ($1.5 trillion). 

 

“Today, we’re not here to make noise but to quietly advance Hyderabad as a global technology and innovation hub. Despite challenging global market conditions and a complex geopolitical landscape, we successfully anchored over 70 Global Capability Centres (GCCs) last year. We’re not stopping here. We aim to anchor 120 new GCCs next year, creating over 1.2 lakh jobs,” said the minister. 

 

He also remarked that with the need of future skills in deep tech, innovation, and engineering, the government will soon launch a global innovation hub aimed at fostering research, breakthrough innovation, and next-generation skills, taking Hyderabad from an incubation hub to a world-class innovation hub. 

 

Venkatesh Natarajan, head of Vanguard India, said, “Our crew members are at the heart of everything we do. This office will combine Vanguard’s mission-driven culture -- centered on fairness and unwavering integrity -- with India’s world-class technology talent. Together, we will create technology capabilities that are innovative, scalable, and meaningful for investors everywhere.” Vanguard’s Hyderabad GVC will play a central role in advancing the company’s AI and digital transformation goals, fostering innovation in financial services and information technology, and contributing to India’s rapidly expanding digital economy.
