"We aspire to have a workforce of 10,000 by 2025. Looking to add another 2,500 laterals by the end of calendar year 2022. India headcount will account for 85 per cent of projected 10,000 headcount in 2025. Other than existing geographies we are present in, we are looking to scale operations in Latam (Latin America), Eastern Europe and Sri Lanka," Kaza said.
He said that private equity capital firm New Mountain Capital has picked up a majority stake in the company and the company is on an acquisition spree in the vertical where it operates.
"We recently acquired Xerris -- a Canada-based cloud and software development services provider -- our first acquisition for the company. It gives us a good footprint in Canada and also the cloud space. We will look at similar such acquisitions to drive revenue growth and we are actively looking at Eastern Europe for acquisition. Region wise, we are looking to grow in the US, Canada, and UK. We are also setting up operations in Mexico," Kaza said.
