Singapore-headquartered IT firm Optimum Solutions and Japan’s ABeam Consulting have launched integrated Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in Hyderabad and Chennai, deepening their decade-long partnership and sharpening focus on AI-led enterprise transformation.

The new centres will function as global delivery hubs for Japanese and multinational clients, supporting digital transformation, enterprise modernisation, cloud migration, data engineering and AI-led innovation initiatives. The two GCCs are expected to scale to have a combined workforce of around 2,000 professionals by 2030.

This expansions plan will position India as a strategic execution backbone for the partnership’s global transformation programmes.

The Hyderabad and Chennai GCCs combine ABeam’s consulting leadership and deep relationships with Japanese enterprises with Optimum’s engineering scale and global delivery expertise. The centres are expected to serve clients across sectors including banking, manufacturing and healthcare.

The two firms together have a combined revenue base of over $1.5 billion and a global workforce exceeding 12,000 professionals. The GCC expansion is expected to anchor a growing share of their global programme delivery in India in the coming years.

Balwant Jain, CEO, Optimum Solutions, said, “Our partnership with ABeam Consulting has evolved into a deeply integrated operating model built on shared governance and long-term commitment. The launch of the Hyderabad and Chennai GCCs places India at the centre of our global delivery strategy.”

“This is not a tactical expansion — it is a structural investment in building scalable, AI-ready capabilities that will support the next decade of enterprise transformation,” he added.

Takahiro Yamada, President & CEO, ABeam Consulting Co., Ltd., Japan, added, “Japanese enterprises are reimagining their business models in response to rapid technological change. India plays an increasingly strategic role in enabling this transformation at scale.”
