In the Heart of Hyderabad, EPAM Powers India’s AI Dream to Take Flight

In a city renowned for its historic grandeur and modern dynamism, Hyderabad is fast emerging as the crucible of India’s AI revolution. At the center of this transformation stands EPAM, a global leader in digital engineering, which has chosen Hyderabad as the launchpad for its bold new approach to talent development. With a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to nurturing early-career engineers, EPAM is not just addressing the challenges of tomorrow’s workforce—it is setting a new benchmark for equipping India’s brightest minds to lead in an AI-driven world.

India at the core of EPAM’s growth story

When Larry Solomon,  Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer at EPAM, describes the company’s commitment to India, he does not mince words. “We’re not just doubling down, we’re tripling down on our talent here in India,” he says. The country has emerged as EPAM’s primary growth engine, a place where the quality of engineering talent, their hunger to learn, and their analytical abilities align perfectly with the company’s promise of delivery excellence. “India is the future of our company,” Solomon asserts, highlighting that out of EPAM’s global workforce of over 60,000, more than 12,000 are based in India. The company’s growth trajectory points to India maintaining and expanding this lead, with plans to hire an additional 3,000 employees in 2026 alone.

This prioritization is reflected not only in headcount but also in leadership attention and resource allocation. Senior leaders, including Solomon himself, make frequent visits to understand local dynamics, reinforce commitment, and ensure that strategic investments translate into tangible outcomes. For EPAM, success in India is measured as much by the quality of its talent pipeline as by the scale.
