DBS Bank's technology hub in Hyderabad - DBS Asia Hub 2, has been honoured with the Centre Transformation award at the prestigious Zinnov Awards 2018. The award recognises DBS Asia Hub 2 (DAH2) for its rapid transformation, from a pure cost centre into a value centre.
Established in 2016, DAH2 is DBS Bank's first technology development centre outside Singapore that supports the bank in strengthening its technological capabilities across the region as well as its digital banking strategy.
"Transformation and innovation have been at the core of our operations to re-imagine banking. It is an honour to receive such a prestigious award as it strengthens our belief in the niche that we have carved for ourselves," said Mohit Kapoor, Head - DBS Asia Hub 2.
DAH2 has built a strong ecosystem, building over 200 live Application Program Interfaces leading to about 50 live partners. The centre focuses on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, automation and cloud beside other latest technologies, to reimagine banking.
