In a recent Business Standard interview, Lingaro Group CEO Sam Mantle highlighted the company's strategic focus on India as a key market for growth and innovation as the country's global capacity center (GCC) ecosystem continues to expand.
By 2025, India's GCC ecosystem is projected to include over 1,900 GCCs and have a market size of $60 billion. Lingaro aims to scale up its operations in India to help global companies build out their GCCs there.
To meet accelerating demand for data services from multinationals with GCCs in the country, Lingaro India has doubled its headcount from 100 to 200 in 2024 and aims to double it again to over 400 in 2025.
"There is such a wealth of data talent in India, and we're looking to attract the best and the brightest at all levels of seniority," explained Sam Mantle. “If you [...] want to be a global player, especially in the tech industry, India is always going to be an important long-term part of your geographic portfolio.”
Lingaro India's strong and growing team of professionals will continue working closely with their colleagues in other countries, where Lingaro has been successfully maximizing the value of clients' data assets for almost two decades. "The good news is that we have a lot of experience doing exactly this type of work with clients in other parts of the world over the past 17 years," Sam said. A critical aspect of the company's strategy for India is simply demonstrating to local clients its track record and reputation for delivering results. Lingaro is targeting a 30% year-on-year increase in revenue for 2025.
Sam emphasized that Lingaro’s “sweet spot” in ensuring high-quality data will help the company meet the needs of mature clients who understand that achieving the best results with generative AI depends on providing it with the best information.
