With plans to have more than 200 colleagues in India by the end of 2022, Aptos announced the opening of a new innovation centre in Bengaluru. Recruitments across key positions, including engineering, consulting and customer operations take place.
The company is reinvesting up to 20% of its revenue into R&D, after its receipt from Goldman Sachs Asset Management in 2020 of a strategic capital commitment.
Aptos CEO Pete Sinisgalli said, “When hiring for Aptos India, and globally, we are looking for individuals who want to spend their days doing groundbreaking work, harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies to deliver ‘what’s next’ to the world’s largest retail brands. India’s vibrant ecosystem of highly skilled software talent enables Aptos to go further, faster on all strategic fronts — product innovation, delivery excellence and customer delight. We’ve welcomed over 100 colleagues to Aptos India in recent months, and we’re well on our way to doubling that number by the end of the year.
Prashant Kamat has joined the company as vice president and managing director of Aptos India. With over 25 years of experience in the IT industry, he has a long track record of helping global firms successfully expand into the Indian market.
Kamat said, “Our goal is to create high-calibre teams that leverage deep retail domain expertise and advanced technological skills to develop modern, cloud-native unified commerce solutions. I am proud of the team we have in India currently, and our focus on recruiting the best and brightest continues, reinforcing a workplace culture that is welcoming to new people and new ideas.”
