Billtrust has opened a new global capability centre (GCC) in Hyderabad and plans to invest ₹450 crore over the next three years while expanding its local workforce to 1,000 employees, strengthening the city’s position as a base for engineering, artificial intelligence and business operations.
The US-based business-to-business cash generation company opened the centre on Monday. The facility, spread across 40,000 square feet, currently has capacity for up to 250 employees. It was inaugurated by Telangana IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu alongside Billtrust CEO Grant Halloran and the company’s global leadership team.
Billtrust India GCC country head Farhad H Baria said the centre had grown to 100 employees within six months. The planned expansion is expected to focus on engineering, AI development and operations, although the company has not disclosed a more detailed hiring schedule in the announcement reported by the Times of India.
The investment and hiring plan adds to Hyderabad’s expanding GCC base, where companies use local centres for technology development, operations and other functions serving global businesses. For the city, such expansion creates demand not only for skilled technology workers but also for office space and supporting services around employment hubs.
Sridhar Babu said Telangana continued to attract technology talent and described Billtrust’s decision to deepen its presence in Hyderabad as an endorsement of the state’s ecosystem. He urged the company to use the talent and training networks of T-Hub and the Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge, known as TASK, to access professionals in emerging technologies. He also assured the company of continued government support.
Halloran said Hyderabad’s technical talent, infrastructure and industry-friendly government were among the factors that attracted Billtrust to the city. The comments place the city’s talent pipeline and institutional support at the centre of the company’s expansion decision.
Billtrust operates a cash generation platform network serving 2,600 business-to-business suppliers and 14 million buyers globally, according to the company information cited in the report. It processes more than $1 trillion in annual trade credit volume through its international network.
The immediate next step for the Hyderabad centre is the planned expansion of its engineering, artificial intelligence and operations teams over the three-year investment period. The company’s current 100-member workforce and the facility’s 250-person capacity indicate that further physical expansion or additional workplace arrangements may be required if the target of 1,000 employees is achieved.
