Pinnacle Infotech Solutions, an Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) IT solutions industry player, said it would expand its workforce four-fold to 12,000 in six years, driven by the growing demand amid the threat of a slowdown in the developed markets.
The Durgapur-based building information modelling (BIM) solutions company, which is also involved in constructing the new temple in Ayodhya, currently employs 3,000 people.
The company has 12 advanced global delivery centres across the world. Its global delivery centres are in the USA, Japan, India, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, and Canada. The international delivery centres in India are in Durgapur, Kolkata, Madurai, and Jaipur.
“The AEC industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and BIM is at the forefront of this transformation. We are seeing strong demand for our BIM solutions from clients around the world and we don’t foresee any slowdown threat. The expansion of our global workforce will help us meet this demand and continue to be a leader in the BIM space,” said Pinnacle Infotech chief executive Bimal Patwari.
“Driven by the growing demand for BIM solutions in the AEC industry, we are expanding as per our growth roadmap. We expect our employee strength to be 12,000 across the markets in six years,” he said.
Patwari stated that the company’s workforce expansion would primarily focus on India, as the company’s business model revolves around providing BIM solutions to projects worldwide with its engineers and architects based in India.
He spoke about Pinnacle Infotech’s largest global engineering Centre of Excellence in Madurai. He said it is spread over 35 acres.
“The world-class complex in Madurai currently has over 900 employees and is actively working to hire 6,000+ engineers and architects by 2025, becoming one of the world’s largest engineering and BIM services centres globally,” he said.
Pinnacle Infotech’s Durgapur campus will add 1 lakh sq ft of space to its existing centre by 2024, accommodating another 1,000 new hires.
Patwari claimed the recently introduced virtual design and construction software PiVDC had seen great success and adaptability among BIM engineers worldwide.
Pinnacle is currently working on most of the world’s international airports, including Cambodia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Goa, Noida, and the new Mumbai airport.
The company claims to have completed over 10,000 projects for over 1,800 clients worldwide and counting.
