Flutter Entertainment launches $3.5M Global Capability Centre in Hyderabad, India

Flutter Entertainment has opened a new Global Capability Centre in Hyderabad, India. Located at RMZ Spire in Knowledge City, one of India’s premier technology parks, the opening marks a key investment of $3.5m and a commitment to India's skills market, the online gaming giant said.

The new hub, which spans over 80,000 sq. ft across three floors, is described as "a centre of innovation and excellence", and is now home to over 700 employees working across Data Engineering, Game Integrity Services, HR Operations, Procurement, Safety and Security, and Customer Operations.

"By harnessing the power of the Flutter Edge – the company's unique competitive advantage - the teams based here will play a pivotal role in supporting Flutter's growth globally across world-class brands including Paddy Power, Sisal, Sky Betting & Gaming, PokerStars, Sportsbet and Betfair, among others," the company added.

Flutter's global sustainability agenda, the Positive Impact Plan, is also clear in this investment, said the operator. Gold-certified by the US Green Building Council, the workspace has been recognized for its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, demonstrating a commitment to reducing Flutter's environmental impact and ‘Go Zero’.

"As part of our commitment to ‘Do More’, we are making a contribution of GBP 30,000 for 2024 to support local initiatives around Hyderabad, demonstrating our focus on making meaningful impact in the communities where we live, work, and play," the company noted.

Phil Bishop, Chief Operating Officer of Flutter Entertainment, said: “Our expansion in India marks a huge milestone in Flutter’s growth and shows our continued commitment to investing in top talent to drive business growth globally.

"With centres of excellence for Data Engineering, Game Integrity Services, Customer and HR Operations, Procurement and Finance, and through the power of the Flutter Edge, the Hyderabad Global Capability Centre is designed to foster creativity and growth and strengthen our presence in the Indian employment and skills market.” 

Ashish Sinha, Managing Director of Flutter Entertainment India, added: “We are excited to expand our facility in Hyderabad as we continue to strengthen our presence in India. We aim to grow while maintaining a challenger mindset and leading the sector globally and India presents a significant opportunity for our business.

"This expansion aligns with our global vision of Changing the Game by enabling continuous improvement in product and technology across iGaming and sports betting across our portfolio of brands.”
