Team Summary
The India & South Asia (INSA) cluster covers 6 markets divided into three sub-regions (India, Bangladesh/Nepal/Bhutan, and Sri Lanka/Maldives), with a total population of approximately 1.5 billion people. Visa has ambitious business goals in this rapidly growing region – and achieving these goals will require us to successfully navigate and positively shape an increasingly complex operating environment.
