The company is looking to hire more locally in some of our stronger global markets. “It is very important for us to invest in the geographies we operate in.” he said.
“Over the past many years, we have done two things: first is we increased offshoring. We bring more value for every dollar the customer spends. If there is somebody with 30 per cent onsite and we are 18 per cent, automatically for the same dollar we can provide a lot more to the customer,” Jalon said.
“Secondly, the company has invested heavily in hiring local talent. We have created local geography-based development centres. We have done acquisitions too which helped us find more people in Europe and the US,” he added.
