Tide to Invest ₹6,000 Crore in India, Create 800+ Jobs

UK-based fintech and business management platform Tide has announced a major investment of £500 million (approx. ₹6,000 crore) in India over the next five years, starting from 2026. This strategic move reaffirms India’s position as a global fintech innovation hub and a core market for Tide’s international expansion.

As part of this investment, Tide plans to create over 800 new jobs in India within the next 12 months, significantly scaling up its current operations in the country. The company is expected to expand its tech and support teams, with hiring focused across engineering, product development, customer service, and compliance functions.

India has played a critical role in Tide’s global growth strategy since it launched operations in the country in 2022. The platform, which offers business banking, expense management, invoicing, and credit tools for small and medium businesses (SMBs), has seen rapid adoption among Indian entrepreneurs.

Tide's leadership emphasized that this investment will support innovation in AI-driven financial services, digital onboarding, and product localization to cater to the unique needs of India’s SME ecosystem.

This bold investment follows a wave of fintech activity in India, and Tide’s announcement comes at a time when the sector is poised for accelerated digital transformation and job creation.
