NatWest Group has inaugurated a new, future-ready office in Bengaluru as part of its ongoing expansion in India.
Located at Taurus 4 in Bagmane Constellation Business Park, the facility marks a significant milestone in the bank’s commitment to deepening its presence in India’s technology and talent ecosystem.
The move is aligned with NatWest’s broader strategy to enhance global digital capabilities and meet evolving customer needs through innovation and operational excellence.
A Modern Workspace Designed for Collaboration and Growth
Spanning over 370,000 square feet across 11 floors, the new office is three times larger than the previous Bengaluru facility.
The company designed the space to foster collaboration, support employee wellbeing, and enable skill development in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and platform engineering.
The company included dedicated wellbeing zones in the space and built it to encourage flexible, inclusive, and sustainable work practices.
NatWest has secured LEED certification for the building and is targeting a Gold rating to reflect its commitment to environmental responsibility.
This aligns with the bank’s ESG goals and its ambition to create workplaces that are both high-performing and human-centric.
Bengaluru as a Key Technology Hub
NatWest already operates offices in Chennai and Gurugram.
The new Bengaluru facility reinforces the city’s role as a central hub for the bank’s technology and operations teams.
The Bengaluru office will serve as a base for developing AI platforms, engineering solutions, and digital infrastructure.
The global Head of AI Platforms is also based in Bengaluru, underscoring the strategic importance of the location.
Scott Marcar, Group Chief Information Officer at NatWest Group, stated, “Technology is playing a vital role in helping us to be a trusted partner to our customers as we deliver better digital experiences whilst improving how we work.”
“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”, Scott added.
India’s Growing Role in NatWest Global Strategy
India accounts for nearly 30% of NatWest’s global workforce.
Over 17,000 employees in the country support core functions such as everyday banking, digital platforms, data engineering, and regulatory reporting.
The company expects the new office to provide the flexibility needed to accommodate future growth and evolving business needs.
Ruchika Panesar, Country Head – India and Chief Digital and Information Officer, Group COO functions, emphasized, “Our technology transformation is no longer about scale alone. It’s about intelligence, resilience, and impact.”
She added, “With AI reshaping how we build, secure, and operate platforms, technology skills such as engineering have become a strategic enabler across the Group”.
She added that India remains a long-term strategic asset and a key engine of growth for NatWest.
It contributes significantly to the bank’s ambition to deliver enterprise-wide, future-ready capabilities.
