Bengaluru: Goldman Sachs Group Inc will honour job and internship offers to 1,460 Indian graduates and students this summer, the equivalent of a quarter of its workforce in the country, forging ahead with expansion plans despite uncertainties due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Gunjan Samtani, who heads the bank in India, told Reuters in an interview this week that about half of those were offers for full-time jobs at the bank's technology centre in Bengaluru, now its second-biggest office globally.
The rest are internships. He also said the bank was putting in place contingency plans that could allow it to move 40%-50% of its workforce in India back to its offices when the country's stringent lockdown ends.
