India remains a key market for MasterCard amid policy changes and developments in fintech, said the American financial services company’s chief people officer Michael Fraccaro. In an interview with Rica Bhattacharyya on MasterCard’s hiring plans and talent strategy, he said the company — which has committed Rs 7,000 crore investment in India in the next five years — will continue to heavily invest in the country, in terms of both assets and people. Edited excerpts:
What is your recruitment strategy for India? What kind of profiles are you looking to hire for here?
India is one of our top priority markets given what is happening in this economy and it is also our second-largest workforce (outside the US). The profiles that we are looking at in India are mostly technology linked. Predominantly, we are looking for cybersecurity and intelligence professionals. We have a large centre of excellence for analytics for which we need data scientists. The other big skillset we are looking for is software engineering.
