FPT Software, Vietnam’s largest ICT firm, has debuted a new office in India, to add to its global footprint of over 50 offices based throughout the Asia-Pacific region, along with Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

The business plans to develop this branch into a Global Delivery Centre within the next three years, making it the enterprise’s 23rd worldwide.

The latest branch known as FPT India is based in the southern city of Hyderabad and will be one of the top outsourcing destinations in India, featuring more than 600,000 IT employees. Based in Hyderabad, the company joins other IT industry leaders such as Infosys, Tata Consulting Services, Accenture and Wipro, among others

“FPT Software’s expansion to the India market demonstrates our strong resources and capabilities, as well as representing our commitment to accelerating digital transformation in the Asia Pacific region,” said Phung Sy Bay, CEO of FPT India.

“The IT industry is a key driver of India’s economy. The IT workforce here is highly skilled, multilingual, capable of carrying out 24/7 shift work, as well as having a wealth of experience and technical know-how. I believe that we have huge potential to tap into, helping more and more Indian clients transform their business operations and gain competitive edges in the market,” he added.

FPT India is now working alongside multiple industry giants across various sectors, such as aviation, healthcare, telecommunications, and automotive. Due to high customer demand, coupled with the branch’s expansion ambitions, the firm is actively seeking to recruit over 1,000 technology professionals in delivery, managed services, and project management within the initial three years.

Since 2019, FPT Software has shifted its core strategy and service offering to digital transformation, after two decades of leading Southeast Asia in IT outsourcing. The company also aims to become a billion-dollar IT and digital transformation services provider by 2024.
