Chennai, 09 October 2025: GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Group company and leader in digital engineering,
today inaugurated its new office in Chennai, further expanding its presence in India, and aimed at
deepening its partnership with Global Capability Centers (GCCs).
Strategically located in RMZ Milenia Business Park, Perungudi, one of the city’s premier IT corridors,
the new facility is designed to accommodate 500 professionals and is complemented by an additional
300-seat center in Guindy, established through GlobalLogic’s integration with Mobiveil, acquired in
December 2023. Together, these centers will enhance GlobalLogic’s capacity to collaborate with
global telecom clients, accelerate delivery timelines, and scale AI-first engineering capabilities.
With over 800 employees currently based in Chennai, GlobalLogic plans to increase this number by
20% by the end of 2025, bringing the local headcount to over 1000. This growth contributes to the
company’s broader ambition of reaching a 20,000-strong workforce in India and a global headcount of
35,000.
The inauguration was presided over by Dr. Palanivel Thiagarajan, Hon’ble Minister of Information
Technology and Digital Services, Government of Tamil Nadu, and Mr. Bhaskar Kumar Verma,
Regional Director, South at NASSCOM. Their presence underscored the region’s rising prominence
as a digital innovation hub and the government’s commitment to fostering technology-driven socio-
economic growth.
Chennai is home to R&D centres of leading industry players and has highly skilled talent in
networking, telecom, and IT. This makes the city a preferred choice for the company to scale and
strengthen its partnerships with Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in the telecommunications and
Media industry, significantly expanding its India and APAC network. The center’s location enables
proximity to GCCs and allows faster collaboration and delivery for the company’s Fortune 500 clients
through specialized teams.
During the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Piyush Jha, Group Vice President and Managing Director,
APAC, GlobalLogic, said, “India continues to be the cornerstone of our global innovation strategy. As
we scale toward a 20,000-strong workforce in the country, Chennai will play a critical role in helping
us deliver AI-first, cloud-native, and telecom-grade solutions at scale.
Today, GCCs are innovation powerhouses, building mission-critical platforms and embedding AI into
the core of global businesses. This new facility brings us closer to our clients and GCC partners, in
line with our ‘zero distance to clients’ approach. It enables real-time co-creation, accelerates
outcomes, and helps shape the future of connected experiences.”
Emphasizing the significance of the new office, Mr. Vikram Puranik, Senior Vice President,
Communications, Consumer & Media, GlobalLogic, said “With Chennai as a focal point, we’re
investing in leadership, domain expertise, and advanced engineering to solve some of the most
complex challenges in telecom, from 5G monetization and intelligent networks to AI-driven customer
experience. Through our VelocityAI platform, we are not just enabling transformation, we are
engineering tomorrow.”
The Chennai office will focus on hiring subject matter experts in telecom and media, along with AI-
first engineers across software development, testing, embedded systems, DevOps/MLOps, and data
analytics. These capabilities will enhance GlobalLogic’s ability to build and scale sophisticated
platforms for telecom service providers and infrastructure leaders worldwide.
