The new centre in Chennai has a headcount of 170 top professionals, with plans to expand to 500 in the next two years, the company said.

''For Luxoft, a sustained growth strategy and maintenance of ethos are equally as important as agility...by establishing new capabilities in Chennai, we will be able to employ our talent and resources to understand, develop and seamlessly deliver tailor made, end-to-end software solutions to our clients,'' Luxoft Managing Director India and Asia Pacific, Madhusudan Deshpande said.

The Chennai office located in Guindy would facilitate hybrid work with open spaces that support collaborative, in-office work environments, the statement said.
