Pinnacle Infotech Solutions, an Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) IT solutions industry player is planning to expand its workforce four-fold to 12,000 in six years, driven by the growing demand amid the threat of a slowdown in the developed markets.

The Durgapur-based building information modelling (BIM) solutions firm, which is also involved in the new temple in Ayodhya, currently has 3,000 employees.

The company has 12 state-of-the-art global delivery centres across the world. Its global delivery centres are located in the USA, Japan, India, Singapore, UK, UAE, Germany, and Canada. The international delivery centres in India are in Durgapur, Kolkata, Madurai, and Jaipur.

“The AEC industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and BIM is at the forefront of this transformation. We are seeing strong demand for our BIM solutions from clients around the world and we don't foresee any slowdown threat. The expansion of our global workforce will help us meet this demand and continue to be a leader in the BIM space,” says Pinnacle Infotech chief executive Bimal Patwari.

“Driven by the growing demand for BIM solutions in the AEC industry, we are expanding as per our growth roadmap. We expect our employee strength to be 12,000 across the markets in six years,” adds Patwari.

The manpower expansion would primarily focus on India, as the company's business model revolves around providing BIM solutions to projects worldwide with its engineers and architects based in India.

Patwari says, “The world-class complex in Madurai currently has over 900 employees and is actively working to hire 6,000+ engineers and architects by 2025, becoming one of the world's largest engineering and BIM services centres globally.”
