Food-delivery firm Deliveroo CEO Will Shu visits Hyderabad tech hub

This is Deliveroo’s largest tech hub outside the United Kingdom and currently employs 140 people. It is expected to bring on board 200 employees by the end of 2023.

Deliveroo has also expanded beyond Hyderabad to access tech talent across other metros like Bangalore, Gurgaon, and Mumbai, through shared space partner (Cowrks), the company said.

The technology centre provides multi-disciplinary support to Deliveroo’s global technology team in the UK, embedding themselves within UK-based teams in the global care & trust, financial systems, consumer, delivery, grocery, platform, restaurants, and product engineering teams.

“I’m excited to see the success of Deliveroo’s India Development Centre over the past year, which is a vital part of our global tech org,” Shu said.

“I look forward to strengthening our presence in India further in 2023 and to building a world-class team that drives our vision of being the definitive food company,” he added.
