Quess Corp is charting an ambitious course for the future, with a confident outlook of delivering solid double-digit growth in FY26. Anchored in a strong post-demerger foundation, the Bengaluru-based staffing giant is placing its bets on robust IT hiring and the rising wave of Global Capability Centres to steer its momentum.
“Even if we grow at 11 or 12 percent at our current scale, the overall business will still achieve double-digit growth,” said Guruprasad Srinivasan, Executive Director and Group CEO of Quess Corp, during a recent discussion.
In the final quarter of FY25, Quess witnessed a notable 11 percent surge in IT staffing revenues, while operating margins from this segment saw an impressive 42 percent rise. GCCs have emerged as a key growth engine, now contributing to nearly 70 percent of the mandates in the IT vertical.
With 45 new clients added in just one quarter and 1,300 active hiring mandates on the table—many of which stem from non-tech firms tapping into the emerging tech space—Quess is tapping into a broader, evolving employment landscape.
Quess is also gearing up to introduce a new ‘GCC as a Service’ model under a refreshed brand identity. This offering aims to assist global businesses in setting up and scaling India-based delivery hubs, typically starting with 150 to 200 seats and expected to grow swiftly. “The sales engine is already cranking,” added Srinivasan, as discussions are underway with multiple clients at different stages.
Even traditional sectors are on the lookout for AI engineers and digital experts, as AI continues to reshape industries. “AI is everywhere now. Even small firms are hiring AI experts to improve customer experiences and business processes. This demand will sustain,” said Srinivasan. Quess is also exploring the power of AI internally, piloting tools to potentially bring down hiring time to just 30 minutes.
After its recent demerger, the company made a strategic exit from low-margin verticals such as utility services and skilling programs. While a one-time cost of Rs 164 crore impacted Q4, the company chose to provision aggressively and move forward with efficiency and clarity.
