Indium has constructed a specialty in offering information examination and information designing administrations to organizations around the world

Indium has fostered a specialty as a computerized designing specialist organization with an emphasis on giving information examination administrations to organizations independent of their space or information development. In the following 3 years, the organization plans to quickly expand its ability store network, fabricate a more cooperative workplace, and spotlight on marking to help deals and draw in great ability.

Indium has developed a niche as a digital engineering service provider with a focus on providing data analytics services to companies irrespective of their domain or data maturity. In the next 3 years, the company plans to rapidly increase its talent supply chain, build a more collaborative work environment, and focus on branding to boost sales and attract good talent. Specifically, the APAC markets are expected to hold a significant share owing to the increasing adoption of smartphones and other digital devices in this region. In India, one of the foremost companies that specialize in data engineering and data science is Indium Software.

Founded by Ram Sukumar and Vijay Balaji, the company currently offers D&A, cloud engineering, application engineering, digital assurance, and low code development services to its customers across the US, India, and Europe. In this interview with Smart CEO, its co-founder, Ram Sukumar dives deeper into the Indium transformation from a digital transformation to a digital engineering company, the company’s journey during the pandemic, and the way forward.

Given the demand we are seeing in the IT industry, one of our key priorities is to build the talent supply chain at all levels – freshers, lateral hires, managers, and leaders. We want to do this in line with the variety of skills required to meet our digital engineering solutions. Secondly, with an increasingly remote and hybrid work environment emerging, we want to amp up our employee engagement to help increase collaboration and integration across the company.

We have developed a variety of initiatives on this front, such as creating Communities of Practice, building a My Indium mobile app, and leveraging technologies to enhance employee engagement. This will help sales win key customers and HR attract talent. We’d like to strengthen our branding across all our digital engineering service lines as a globally recognized IT company.

We managed to execute the remote strategy extremely well and many of our customers were happy that we ensured business continuity. 2021 was all about building scale while working remotely across most of the company. With going digital no longer an option, globally, we see companies of all sizes increasing their demand for IT services and looking for partners. We expect significant demand and growth for IT Services at least for the next 3 to 4 years.

Building talent at scale to deliver to customer expectations will remain an essential aspect of “sustainable growth”. We’re focusing on three initiatives to upskill our employees; communities of practice, partnerships with several platforms offering training courses, and investing in Indium Academy to skill both internal and entry-level talent across technologies and soft skills.

Indium Academy is the cornerstone for our future talent. We are looking for talent in technologies that are very nascent (around 2 to 3 years old). So, we believe that by investing in our academy and in our own training, we can not only address our needs of today but also build future talent in newer areas that are emerging, and which are not necessarily available as a part of a large community today. Until a few years back, low-code as a community did not exist where we could simply go and hire from.

Today, we have over 100 low-code development engineers who come out of our academy, where we take people with certain primary skills, and then we impart those secondary skills and get them ready for our business needs. We expect to be among the top digital engineering companies and expect our headcount to be from the current 2,100 to over 5,200 by then.
