Adyen, the Amsterdam‑listed payments processor, told Reuters it is stepping up hiring and expanding its Indian presence to capture the country’s fast‑growing digital payments market. Asia‑Pacific President Gary Yang said the firm sees a long‑term growth opportunity as multinational clients enter India and Indian businesses expand abroad.

Hiring surge and local footprint

Adyen’s India staff has risen tenfold since 2023, reaching about 120 employees in the first half of this year. While Yang did not disclose specific hiring targets, he emphasized that the company will continue to add talent to support its expanding client base.

Financial performance

According to Adyen’s 2025 annual report, pre‑tax income from India more than doubled to €3.18 million (≈$3.5 million) from €1.45 million a year earlier. The firm’s global net income for 2025 was €1.06 billion (≈$1.23 billion).

Clients and platform adaptation

Adyen counts tech giants such as Uber, Microsoft and Adobe among its customers, and is helping Indian firms like travel platform Oyo expand internationally. To meet India’s regulatory environment, the company has added data‑localisation capabilities, recurring‑payment mandates and support for the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which Yang called essential for success in the market.

Future outlook

The Dutch fintech is also positioning itself for the rise of AI‑driven “agentic commerce,” where software agents can search for products and complete purchases on behalf of consumers. Recent reports indicate India’s payments regulator is drafting a framework that could let such agents make small digital payments without individual approvals.

Adyen’s strategic push underscores the broader trend of global fintech firms seeking to tap India’s massive, increasingly digital economy.
