Leading digital payments platform PhonePe plans to double its total employee strength to 5,400 by December, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

The company will hire across levels and functions for engineering, product, analytics, business development, and sales teams. There are about 2800 open job positions that the company is planning to fill in the next 12 months across Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, and the rest of the country.

“We are building a long-term sustainable organisation, anchored on technology, and unlocking value for all,” said Manmeet Sandhu, Head of HR at PhonePe.

PhonePe recently announced the launch of Mothers@PhonePe aimed at providing flexibility to mothers so they can come back to the workforce when they are ready. It also launched Parents@PhonePe, a parallel program that covers secondary caregivers, aimed at promoting a balanced distribution of responsibilities among new parents.

The company is also investing in PhonePe University- a program in tech that aims to accelerate learning and impact for engineers.
