“Vaibhav comes with over 22 years of experience in digital technology solutions especially aimed at banking and retail industries,” Jehangir said.
NeST Digital has a strong presence in as many as 30 major banks in the GCC and Vaibhav’s plans are to capitalise on this and expand the portfolio of offerings in the next few months before foraying into North Africa and Europe.
“We are seeing a good deal of demand for innovative and transformational digital technologies and we are poised for big growth,” said Vaibhav. “We are bringing in the brightest talent and developing futuristic skills to strengthen our engineering teams in Kochi and Dubai,” Jehangir added.
