NTT Data is set to invest several billion dollars in India over the next two to three years, according to Amir Durrani, Executive Vice President of Applications and Business Process Outsourcing at NTT DATA Inc. The investment will span multiple sectors, including applications, business process outsourcing (BPO), data centers, and marine cables, as part of the company’s comprehensive service offerings.

“We have close to a billion dollars of business in India. The focus is on growing both our headcount and our footprint in the local market, which are top priorities for NTT Data,” Durrani said.

India, NTT Data's largest talent hub outside Japan, currently employs 40,000 of its global workforce of 190,000. The company plans to increase its workforce by 10–15% annually. Globally, NTT Data generates $30 billion in revenue, with $12 billion from Japan and $18 billion from other markets.

The company will continue to invest in India across its portfolio, including data centers, applications, infrastructure, and tech solutions, ensuring end-to-end service delivery for global clients.

"India’s scale, cost efficiency, and productivity make it integral to our global operations. From consulting and business processes to contact centers and infrastructure services, India is at the heart of our ability to provide comprehensive solutions to clients worldwide," Durrani added.

NTT Data’s expansive capabilities enable it to deliver a complete stack of services—from consulting to data center hosting and service management—positioning India as a cornerstone for its global competitiveness and innovation.
