GIFT City, India's first International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) is rapidly emerging as a global financial hub. This city located in Gujarat, has attracted over 100 financial institutions from around the world including banks, insurers, asset managers and exchanges.
"GIFT City is a unique and innovative financial ecosystem that is attracting global attention," said Suresh Sharma, CEO of GIFT City. "We offer a number of advantages to financial institutions, including a liberal regulatory environment, a robust infrastructure and a skilled workforce."

The growth of GIFT City is being driven by a number of factors including the increasing demand for financial services in India, rise of the Indian economy and government's supportive policies.
"The government of India has been very supportive of GIFT City," said Sharma. "They have provided us with a number of incentives such as tax breaks and custom duty exemptions. This has helped us to attract financial institutions from around the world."
The growth of GIFT City is expected to boost the Indian economy and create jobs. The city is also expected to attract foreign investment and help India become a global financial hub.
