Digital engineering company Nagarro plans to expand its teams in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune, adding around 1,000 professionals to its current workforce of 13,000 in India. The company currently has 700 open positions that are difficult to fill due to a shortage of skilled talent.
CEO Manas Human highlighted challenges including:
- Supply crunch in tech talent due to high hiring in startups and GCCs;
- Job caution among employees amid global uncertainties;
- Residual overhang from post-COVID investments;
- Geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility;
- Emerging AI technologies creating uncertainty in future business operations;
Human noted that industries are preparing for AI-powered transformation, with initial AI investments on peripheral operations being simpler, while major transformational projects target core business processes.
He emphasized that agentic AI will drive the next wave of AI spending, requiring consulting, systems integration, governance, and infrastructure upgrades. Nagarro sees this as an opportunity to strengthen its capabilities and lead in AI-driven digital engineering.
