In a recent Business Today feature, our MD & APAC Head, Piyush Jha, shares how GlobalLogic is partnering with India’s digital rise.

India intends to become a five trillion economy in short order on the plank of innovation-led rapid growth and new waves of digital transformation.

GlobalLogic's impact is visible in everything from healthcare platforms to automotive software and next-gen consumer tech. At its core lies a bold mission: Engineering Impact creating intelligent products, platforms, and services that are not only efficient and desirable but also sustainable and socially meaningful. India, in particular, plays a pivotal role, not just as a delivery hub, but as a global innovation engine that is helping realize India's ambitious $5 trillion economic vision.

For all of his career, he has been a big believer in India's software story - which wins not on cost but on innovation, which thrives not just on scale but a mindset to do one's best at all times.

India: The Talent and Innovation Heartbeat

GlobalLogic's commitment to India's digital transformation goes far beyond numbers. With a strong hub-and-spoke model, the company is actively expanding into tier-II and tier-III cities like Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Mahabubnagar and Kochi, aiming to unlock local potential and create over 2000 new jobs in the coming years. Nearly 90% of the talent at these centres is local — a model that not only reduces attrition but fosters sustainable community development and provides an equal seat on the table to the talent from wider India.

By investing hugely in GenAI innovation and collaborating with Global Capability Centers (GCCs), GlobalLogic is enabling large enterprises to harness the power of next-gen tech. With over 65 GenAI projects already in motion in India, and more than 90% of its engineers trained in GenAI, the firm is helping companies reinvent themselves with smarter, faster, and more scalable solutions.

Building for the Future

GlobalLogic's broader purpose - aligned with Hitachi's Social Innovation goals — is to engineer products and platforms that drive social, environmental, and economic impact. From its work in healthcare, education, automotive, and sustainability tech, the company plays a direct role in shaping solutions that matter.

With tie-ups across universities and an expanding talent upskilling program, the company is also investing in the future workforce ensuring India's youth are job-ready in Gen AI and digital engineering even before graduation.

In essence, GlobalLogic is not just building digital products; it's helping build a smarter, more inclusive, and innovation-led India. Under Piyush Jha's leadership, the company is setting new benchmarks in how technology, talent, and purpose can come together to power national transformation.
