Citco opens permanent office for Center of Excellence team in Hyderabad
INDIA, 18 April 2023 – After the successful launch of Citco’s Center of Excellence (CoE) in Hyderabad in September 2021 – whereby the team was based in a temporary incubation office in HITEC City – Citco has moved to a new permanent facility in the Opel Building, located in Salarpuria Sattva Knowledge City, to cater to its ongoing expansion in the region.
The office inauguration took place on 18 April and was attended by Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao, Minister of Information Technology, Industries & Commerce, Municipal Administration & Urban Development, and Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary of the Industries & Commerce and Information Technology.
The CoE provides a range of support in relation to fund and banking services for Citco and its international client base, helping both to operate more efficiently and effectively via Citco’s portfolio of award-winning proprietary technologies. The growing team also strengthens the resources of Citco’s operations across Asia, helping to support Citco’s other locations in the region which include Pune and Mumbai.

The state of the art office will ensure we are well-positioned to support the growth of Citco not simply in the region, but also globally. We have seen significant worldwide demand for our fully-integrated ecosystem of bespoke technologies and white-glove, specialist asset services, so now that our new regional base is ready, we look forward to significantly and sustainably growing our team in India.”
