GlobalLogic targets tier II and III cities while leveraging India’s role as a core innovation hub for clients in North America and Western Europe.
India is set to account for 15–20% of GlobalLogic’s global business in the near future, according to Nitesh Banga, President and CEO of the Hitachi Group-owned digital engineering company. With almost 50% of its global workforce already based in India, the country is increasingly becoming a cornerstone for the company’s engineering and innovation strategies.
“APAC constitutes nearly half of our engineering workforce, with India as a crucial part of that. While North America represents about 60% of our market, India is rapidly expanding as both a delivery and market hub,” Banga said, adding that Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia are also emerging as vital markets served out of India.
Focus on Talent and Innovation in India
India hosts over 15,000 of GlobalLogic’s 30,000 global employees, with ambitious plans to extend its reach into tier II and III cities. Piyush Jha, MD and CEO of GlobalLogic India & APAC, noted the company’s ongoing investment in India’s engineering prowess, citing its importance in developing AI tools and next-gen platforms.
“India is already providing over 50% of our engineering capability globally. It’s not just about talent; many of our North American and European clients see India as a strategic expansion opportunity,” said Banga.
Growth in Global Markets
The company is also witnessing notable growth in its Japan operations, launched two years ago. Banga highlighted the strong ties between Japanese firms like Suzuki, Honda, and Mitsubishi and their Indian operations, positioning India as a critical market for GlobalLogic’s future growth.
Further reflecting its confidence in India, GlobalLogic recently inaugurated a new delivery center in Hyderabad and plans to hire 2,000 additional employees over the next three years. The company now operates in 10 Indian cities, including Noida, Pune, Bangalore, and Chennai.
With a goal to double its GCC business in India within the next two years, GlobalLogic aims to surpass $1 billion in revenue from India and APAC by 2027, solidifying the nation’s role as a global digital engineering powerhouse.
