Global Al & Decision Science Powerhouse

Setting the Stage 

A global leader in decision science and Al consulting, the client delivers custom-built analytics ecosystems for Fortune 500 companies across industries. 

‍

‍

With a bold vision to become a full-stack Al & data product partner, the company set up a fast-scaling centre in Bangalore, India, tasked with solving enterprise-level problems through advanced data science, Al engineering, and domain-led consulting.

‍

‍

Backed by rapid growth and a focus on IP-led platforms, the company needed more than just talent, it needed product-minded data thinkers and builders, who could keep pace with global demand and deliver at scale.

‍

The Business Challenge

The client faced a dual challenge - to scale rapidly without compromising on depth, and to build a culture of problem-solvers, not just code contributors.

Key mandates included:

• Hiring product-aware data scientists, ML engineers, and decision architects with exposure to global business contexts 

• Creating a strong middle layer of analytics leads and client engagement managers 

• Bringing in experts with cloud, MLOps, full- stack, and data visualisation backgrounds, all while maintaining strong fundamentals in statistics, modelling, and consulting 

• Delivering industry-specific solutions across BFSI, CPG, Pharma, and Retail 

Driving collaborative, cross-functional pods that could move from use-case identification to production deployment

With tight timelines, evolving tech stacks, and high client expectations, the ask was clear: build a team that delivers like a product company, but thinks like a consulting firm.
