HDFC Bank

Priavte lender HDFC Bank has set up a Digital Factory and an Enterprise Factory to launch new digital products and services in the future and augment its IT Infrastructure. The Digital and Enterprise factories will be pivoted on APIs, data and cloud.

The dual approach of setting up the Digital Factory along with an Enterprise Factory is part of the bank’s agenda on technology transformation meant for running as well as transforming the bank. The bank proposes to strengthen capabilities for the Digital and Enterprise Factories by hiring up to 500 people over the next two years, from diverse backgrounds such as data analytics, AI, ML, Design Thinking, Cloud and DevOps.

The Digital Factory will be building new business and new solutions riding on new tech stacks/applications and high resiliency and monitoring capabilities. This will be supported by the ability to handle large volume growth and plan for upgrading technologies. Further, the bank is developing future-ready IP technologies and moving to a native cloud architecture in collaboration with niche technology companies, fintech and large IT companies. Ensuring reliability, availability, scalability and security will be at the core of the Digital Factory’s endeavours.
