Strengthens mobile uptime on Google Cloud as part of its modernization effort
Cuts digital fraud using passwordless authentication
Deploys Gemini models to power enterprise-wide AI capabilities
HDFC Bank collaborated with Google Cloud as part of its broader digital modernization program.
HDFC Bank, one of India’s largest private sector banks, has been modernizing its digital platforms as part of a multi-year technology transformation program.
The program brings together HDFC Bank’s engineering teams and key ecosystem partners, including Google Cloud. Collaboration with Google Cloud engineers supported modernization efforts, while the bank independently expanded its engineering capabilities as part of its broader technology strategy.
It was very important for us to find a partner who could help us holistically across the engineering stack, not just a basic cloud provider. For a large program like the revamping of a mobile banking platform, many things have to go right at once. Google Cloud has been one of the key contributors in this journey to make a state-of-the-art mobile banking platform and to enhance our digital capabilities.
