“At DBS, we believe that banks tomorrow will look fundamentally different from banks today. That’s why we have spent the past three years deeply immersed in the digital agenda. This has been an all-encompassing journey, whether it is changing the culture and mindsets of our people, re-architecting our technology infrastructure, or leveraging Big Data, biometrics and AI to make banking simple and seamless for customers.”

Piyush Gupta, CEO DBS

The banking industry is being profoundly impacted by new technologies and changing customer expectations. Fintechs and non-traditional banking players like Alibaba are attacking the financial services value chain. In such an environment, our future success depends on our ability to innovate, harness the digital revolution and completely re-imagine the role of banks and the customer's experience. By harnessing the digital opportunity, we are thinking deeply about customers' true needs and their real-jobs-to-be-done, and how we can extend our reach into larger geographies without the need for an extensive physical branch network.

Dave Gledhill, CIO and Head of Group Technology & Operations

“We find ourselves in the digital age competing head-on with not just our traditional banking competitors, but also world-leading tech companies through differentiated offerings of cutting-edge digital products and services. We therefore need to retain and hire the best tech talent so we can create world class capability and protect the intellectual property of what we have built.”

Paul Cobban, Chief Data & Transformation Officer

At DAH2, we are building a culture of experimentation, backed by robust technology solutions and creative intelligence that consistently helps us innovate and deliver on our digital journey. With digibank being India’s first paperless, signatureless mobile only bank account, we look forward to bringing on board, game changers who will be instrumental in reimagining banking. We want to foster digital transformation through innovation by living our customer journeys and employee journeys

Modern age workforce enabled by a modern age workplace – DAH2 story

An innovator, a traveler or a geek, you would love your techTrek across our cool workplace.

DBS Asia Hub 2, located at Hyderabad has become engineers' retreat in little time. When one of our interns described it as a 'perfect weekend hangout', we felt quite satiated because that's what we want our employees to feel - at home. On your techtrek at DAH2, you will surely come across our scrum rooms and agile workstations where our engineers are changing the world of banking in the most interesting ways!

Two Goals. One Solution

At DBS, Sustainability equals Responsible Banking, Responsible Corporate Citizenship, and Creating Social Impact. We formed the DBS Sustainability Council in March 2017 to outline the Bank's Strategic Agenda for Sustainability as referring to the areas of Sustainable Operations, Clean Energy Consumption, and Energy Efficiency. Accordingly, we have chosen to focus on four of the UN's SDGs, where we believe we can contribute the most while keeping in line with our own sustainability objectives, unique heritage, strategy, markets of operations, and businesses.

#BeTheDifference – Giving Education A Digital Edge

As a part of DBS’s Purpose Of Purpose programme, our volunteers at DAH2 introduced digital learning to around 30 students from an orphanage. Driving inspiration from our digital transformation journey together with a vision to bring positive difference to the society, this program imparted interactive learning through practical exercises using Microsoft office & more.

The volunteers taught science subjects like wildlife and solar system to the group of students through interactive learning videos. Our volunteers initiated, ideated, collaborated to spark inspiration amongst the students and make them digitally smarter. It was a day made purposeful for both the students as well as the DAH2 volunteers.

Engineering the future of banking. Coding my way through Hacker In Her!

Why be plain vanilla when you can be mint chocolate chip? Instead of being huddled over the computer and working in silos, she loves exploring diverse facets of data, banking, AI and technology. The hacker in Anshu Singh went above and beyond to prove that coding is not a boring desk job and is more than just man's bastion.
