HSBC India Expands Horizons with Largest Branch in Bengaluru’s Tech Hub

Bangalore: In a strategic move to take advantage of India’s vibrant economic landscape and growing prosperity, HSBC India has unveiled its largest branch office spanning 8,300 sq ft in Whitefield, Bengaluru. The relocation from Basavanagudi to Whitefield is a significant milestone, strengthening HSBC’s position as the leading international bank in the country.

Whitefield, now a major information technology (IT) hub, is synonymous with strong infrastructure, ample commercial and residential development and excellent road and metro connectivity. The decision to set up shop here is in line with the region’s skyrocketing per capita income of US$11,305 (Rs 9,36,983), which is four times higher than the national average of US$2,610 (Rs 2,16,316). With 24% of Bengaluru’s office supply, Whitefield is not only an economic powerhouse but also a thriving market for office spaces.

The ultra-modern luxury branch located in the heart of this bustling technology hub aims to meet the unique financial needs of the fast-growing tech community. HSBC India envisions to offer an extensive international network, a diverse range of products, specialized wealth solutions, specialized relationship managers and global private banking expertise. This comprehensive set of services goes beyond day-to-day financial management, helping clients protect and grow their wealth. The branch will also provide commercial banking, global banking and markets capabilities.

Sandeep Batra, Head of Wealth and Personal Banking at HSBC India, emphasized the bank’s commitment to fostering the entrepreneurial spirit and innovation in India. India boasts of having the third largest population of tech unicorns globally, with HSBC already banking 50% of the top 100 unicorns in the country. Whitefield is emerging as an ideal location for an ultra-modern luxury branch, set to complement HSBC’s leading offerings, world-class services and international network reach.

The new branch, located in the Paradhanani Wilshire III Building, features a digital-themed office with dedicated spaces for retail banking, premier services and back-office operations. With luxurious interior elements and a grand coffee house space, the branch offers a range of services including banking transactions, wealth management solutions, international account opening assistance, lending services and ATMs.

To celebrate the opening of this flagship branch, HSBC India has planned a three-day event which will include a star-studded lineup of Bollywood celebrities, sports personalities and a stand-up comedian. Operating from 10am to 4pm from Monday to Saturday (except 2nd and 4th Saturdays), the branch is set to become a financial hub for the tech-savvy community in Whitefield. HSBC India’s expansion not only reflects the bank’s confidence in the economic strength of the region, but also its commitment to contribute to India’s emerging entrepreneurial landscape.
