The GIFT City Advantage
India's first International Financial Services Centre - built to compete with Singapore, Dubai, and London as a global financial hub.
India's International Financial Hub
Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) is India's first and only International Financial Services Centre (IFSC). Regulated by the IFSCA - a unified financial regulator established by the Government of India - GIFT City offers international financial services entities a regulatory environment, tax structure, and operational framework designed to compete with the world's leading financial centres.
For DPA SmartCloud's clients in Europe and the US, working with an IFSCA-authorized entity means regulatory credibility, operational cost advantage, and access to India's deep pool of BFSI talent - all within an internationally benchmarked governance framework.
