GlobalLogic sets up new office in Chennai to deepen GCC partnership

GlobalLogic, a digital engineering company which is also part of the Hitachi Group, has opened a new office in Chennai, further expanding its presence in India and aiming to deepen its partnership with Global Capability Centres (GCCs).

The new facility is designed to accommodate 500 professionals and is complemented by an additional 300-seat centre in Guindy, established through GlobalLogic’s integration with Mobiveil, acquired in December 2023. Together, these centres 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 1,000. 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.

According to a statement from GlobalLogic, 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 Centres (GCCs) in the telecommunications and media industry, significantly expanding its India and APAC network. The centre’s location enables proximity to GCCs and allows faster collaboration and delivery for the company’s Fortune 500 clients through specialised teams, the statement said.

GlobalLogic Group Vice President and Managing Director, APAC, Piyush Jha said, “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.”

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.
