Al Ansari Financial Services expands to India with new tech centre

By Gloria Methri

Al Ansari Financial Services PJSC, the UAE-based non-banking financial services provider, has launched its new business solutions centre, Al Ansari Financial Services Solutions Private Limited (AAFS Solutions), in Hyderabad, India.

The new centre, which represents a strategic expansion for the Group, will serve as a hub for business transformation, streamlining operations and accelerating digital innovation across Al Ansari’s growing global footprint.

By tapping into India’s deep talent pool and technological capabilities, the Hyderabad facility is set to play a central role in enhancing the Group’s operational efficiency, productivity, and cost optimisation efforts.

“This expansion reflects our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative practices to provide exceptional services to our customers,” said Mohammad Bitar, Deputy Group CEO of Al Ansari Financial Services. “We are reshaping our operations to promote leaner corporate structures and enhance the effectiveness of shared services and global business service units.”

The Group’s move is aligned with its broader transformation agenda — one focused on operational excellence, scalable growth, and strategic resource allocation.

Driving digital transformation at scale

The first phase of the initiative has seen the establishment of an IT Excellence Centre within the new premises, designed to boost the Group’s digital capabilities and accelerate product innovation. The long-term vision includes expanding into business process outsourcing (BPO), enabling the Group to centralise functions, enhance collaboration, and redirect focus to core business and customer-facing initiatives.

“We are committed to fostering a culture of growth and opportunity for our employees,” Bitar added. “The expansion of our operations in India will not only enable us to deliver greater value to our customers and shareholders but also create exciting career prospects for our talented workforce.”

The Hyderabad centre is more than a back-office operation — it’s a strategic platform designed to power the Group’s next phase of innovation, transformation, and regional leadership in financial services.

As Al Ansari Financial Services continues to evolve its offerings, the Indian operations will play a crucial role in building the infrastructure required for scalable, technology-first financial solutions across the GCC and beyond.
