GlobalLogic sees strong growth in APAC, eyes 25% expansion next year with AI motions

GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Company, is seeing strong growth in APAC, with India accounting for 90 per cent of the revenue contribution in the region. The company expects to close the fiscal with 20 per cent growth in the APAC region.

“We intend to grow by 25 per cent in APAC in the next year, with 15 per cent coming through the headcount addition, and the rest through AI motions,” said Piyush Jha, Managing Director & Head of India and APAC, GlobalLogic, adding that the company has invested $40 million in GenAI and VelocityAI.

VelocityAI is a suite of AI-powered service offerings enabling automated testing, streamlining DevOps processes, reducing maintenance efforts, and helping organisations lower operational costs by up to 20 per cent.

“We have seen almost unprecedented margin gains from GenAI. About a year ago, it was a good, experimented technology. We were also experimenting and doing POCs. Today, it is entering mainstream production,” Jha said.

“VelocityAI represents a paradigm shift in how enterprises harness AI to drive business transformation,” he said. “Most AI programs today are stuck with one of two challenges — they either use the same LLM across all types of programs and all lifecycle stages, or they fail to ensure security compliance and IP protection. VelocityAI makes these two aspects the central pivots of its existence. It allows product managers, engineers, and architects to use the LLM of their choice or bring their own while ensuring that teams operate in a secure, sterile environment. Additionally, it makes our entire 33,000-person workforce 30 per cent more productive.”

GlobalLogic is also collaborating with GCCs on GenAI. Jha revealed that over the past two years, the company has experienced nearly 110 per cent growth in its GCC sector and expects to maintain a 50 per cent year-on-year growth rate in the coming years.

“The optimisation we’re driving through Velocity AI will further accelerate this growth, as optimization and time-to-market are critical for GCCs, given their need to report to their parent companies. I believe using GenAI and Velocity AI in the GCC space will only spur the development we have here,” he added.
