The expansion of UBS’s operations reflects the confidence global businesses place in our infrastructure and talent."
Harald Egger said: "UBS’s decision to double its presence in Hyderabad is mainly driven by the fact that Hyderabad offers the best talent pool, world-class infrastructure, and the innovation ecosystem actively fostered by supportive government policies.
