New research and development centers will be established in Manchester and Leeds, complementing an expanded delivery center in Birmingham, demonstrating a geographically diverse growth strategy. “Hexaware has worked alongside businesses in the UK for more than three decades,” said R.

Hexaware’s £25 Million UK Investment to Create 1,200 Tech Roles
Hexaware Technologies’ £25 million investment in the United Kingdom aligns with international priorities established at the recent G7 Summit, as the UK Government highlighted the expansion alongside commitments to artificial intelligence and clean energy initiatives. This financial commitment is earmarked for the creation of approximately 1,200 technology roles distributed across three key cities: Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham, indicating a geographically diverse strategy for growth beyond simply bolstering existing infrastructure. The investment focuses not only on established technologies but also on emerging fields like quantum computing, alongside areas such as AI and digital services. This focus suggests a long-term vision extending beyond immediate market demands, positioning the company to capitalize on potentially disruptive technologies as they mature. Srikrishna further elaborated on the company’s ambitions, stating, “We have very high ambitions for our growth, creating impact in the UK and proudly supporting the Government’s inclusive vision for AI.” The UK currently represents Hexaware’s second-largest global market and its fastest-growing geographic region, a status reinforced by the opening of its UK headquarters in London’s Canary Wharf in 2023.
Parameshwaran (Param) Iyer, Executive Vice President, Head, UK and Europe, Hexaware, underscored the importance of local expertise, noting, “Our UK clients are moving fast on AI, and having research and delivery talent on the ground here means we can build with them rather than for them.” This localized approach is intended to foster collaborative innovation and accelerate the delivery of tailored solutions, while also contributing to the development of a skilled workforce capable of driving the UK’s long-term economic growth through advancements in AI research, digital innovation for citizen services, and talent incubation. According to Srikrishna, these investments “will create meaningful social impact while fueling and accelerating the UK’s long-term economic growth.”
Hexaware has worked alongside businesses in the UK for more than three decades. We have very high ambitions for our growth, creating impact in the UK and proudly supporting the Government’s inclusive vision for AI.
