This move strengthens TIFIN's capabilities in natural language AI and enables around-the-clock development from its teams in the U.S., Spain, and India.
As financial services become increasingly conversational, as enterprise clients have a geographically dispersed user base, and as personalized interactions become increasingly important, the ability to serve users in their native languages is a strong advantage to building AI applications that drive adoption and trust. This capability is also allowing TIFIN to start serving clients in regions such as Japan.
This growth reflects TIFIN's strategy to tap into globally dispersed AI talent. The newly formed 10-person team in India adds to the existing AI talent in the US and brings deep specialization in financial LLMs and multilingual capabilities — a foundation for expanding TIFIN's AI products to international markets. The India team has already contributed to breakthroughs in agent-driven productivity tools and multilingual experiences in the finance domain. A recent paper published by the team also won 3rd place in SemEval (solving a multi-lingual challenge).
'Our mission is to improve wealth outcomes through accessible, personalized AI,' said Uttung Malkan, Chief Operating Officer for TIFIN India. 'Building this multilingual team in India expands our ability to do that — faster, smarter, and for more people globally.'
'With product teams distributed across the U.S., Spain, and India, we're able to move faster and tap global AI talent more effectively,' said Kiran Nambiar, TIFIN Partner and CEO of MyFi, TIFIN's consumer brand in India. 'Over time, this structure gives us a durable advantage as LLM talent becomes increasingly decentralized.'
TIFIN's AI teams are embedded across its product companies such as Magnifi, @Work, and Sage supporting AI assistants and agent-based workflows for enterprise clients. The company continues to invest in applied AI research, model fine-tuning, and LLM-driven product innovation to meet the evolving needs of asset managers, wealth firms, and insurers. TIFIN has been recognized for its culture and talent by Vault's Fintech 100 Outstanding Employers, Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers, and is Great Place To Work Certified™.

Breakingviews - Trump can turn Huawei into an Nvidia nightmare
HONG KONG, July 15 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Who can take on Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab? The $4 trillion giant has a seemingly untouchable global lead in artificial intelligence chips and software. But Donald Trump could yet hand Chinese rival Huawei an edge – and easily kill Nvidia's remaining business in the People's Republic – by widening export controls. The company appeared to score a victory on Tuesday, revealing that it plans to resume sales of its H20 chip in the People's Republic days after its CEO met the U.S. president. Jensen Huang is in Beijing and, per the Financial Times, plans to meet with Chinese Premier Li Qiang. That such a high-level meeting is happening in the thick of Trump's trade wars underscores the deep ties between the world's most valuable company and the world's biggest semiconductor market. Unsurprisingly, Huang's China trip – his second this year – has attracted scrutiny, opens new tab from U.S. lawmakers. A lot is at stake for Nvidia. It will soon launch a China-specific AI graphics processing unit, according to Reuters, but one that will be cheaper, and probably less powerful, than its predecessor to comply with Washington's latest restrictions. Even so, a pared-down Nvidia GPU should still be in high demand. That's because it will probably take a few years before local offerings from Huawei, MetaX and others catch up. And even then, Nvidia has another formidable edge: its freely available programming platform, CUDA, which developers worldwide use to develop and collaborate on AI models, frameworks and apps optimised to run on Nvidia hardware. That makes it hard and costly for existing customers including China's Alibaba ( opens new tab and Tencent ( opens new tab to switch chip suppliers, a move that requires rewriting code and retraining staff, though Huawei is planning a new chip design that will make it easier, opens new tab to transfer from CUDA, per The Information. This helps to explain why Chinese authorities are so wary of Nvidia's growing dominance: last year, the market regulator announced it is investigating the U.S. group over suspected antitrust violations. Although President Xi Jinping's government wants domestic companies to buy local as part of a self-sufficiency drive, China's groundbreaking models from DeepSeek and others are mostly trained on Nvidia chips. That suggests the U.S. company can thrive in the People's Republic for quite some time to come. Indeed, Nvidia's China revenue is forecast to reach $48 billion in the current fiscal year – or 24% of the total – and $55 billion the year after, up from $17 billion last year, according to analyst estimates on Visible Alpha. Yet Trump's policies could further cut short the company's runway for growth. The Commerce Department, for instance, is planning new rules to restrict shipments of AI chips to Malaysia and Thailand to crack down on suspected smuggling, Bloomberg reported, opens new tab earlier this month, citing sources. And beyond chips, export controls could in theory widen to include AI software too, or specific CUDA-based applications. Such policies would turn Huawei from an underdog into a much bigger threat for Nvidia. (Updates in first and second paragraph and in Context News to reflect the company's plans to resume China sales of its H20 artificial intelligence chip.) Follow Robyn Mak on X, opens new tab.
