According to its chief executive and managing director, Amit Chadha, the city-based engineering services firm is preparing to expand its talent pool since it anticipates a rise in customer demand for these two fields as well as cybersecurity.

“We are making investments in three areas. One is artificial intelligence, where we are currently at around 200 people and will build out to be a 2,000 people team. Second is SDV, which is about a 180-member team right now, and we will take it to 1,800 people in the next few months. And third is cybersecurity, where we are looking to see (demand),” Chadha said.

When asked for a timeline for adding the talent on the AI side, he did not give a specific answer but said that the additions will be over the next 6-18 months.

The overall employee base of the company stood at 23,300 as of June 30, 2023.
