Latin America has historically been recognized as a cradle of talent and innovation. Countries like Mexico, which boasts the region’s highest percentage of STEM graduates, inspire companies like Ness Digital Engineering to locate their hubs in the region.
The global digital transformation firm based in New York inaugurated its new office in Puerta de Hierro, Guadalajara, which has recently been building a reputation as a technology cluster. The new site expands existing operations in Mexico City, Zapopan, Apodaca and Guanajuato.
“Mexico is an essential part of our global engineering network to meet the growing demand from customers who require agile product development in the same time zone,” explained Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar, CEO of Ness.
A commitment to Latin American talent
According to data shared by the company, Ness plans to hire 50 engineers by the end of 2025 and exceed 300 by 2027.
“Guadalajara, being one of the most vibrant tech communities in North America, was the natural choice to establish our nearshore presence,” Tinaikar added.
The opening follows the formation of a partnership between five strategic customers who decided to establish their long-term engineering bases in the region.
The Guadalajara center will be an AI-driven Intelligent Engineering hub designed to accelerate digital delivery and create synergies with teams from its 11 sites located in Europe and India.
“We are laying the foundation for engineering future excellence. This is not just a capabilities center, but a launch pad for AI-driven transformative innovation,” noted Amit Srivastava, vice president of Engineering at Ness.
Srivastava emphasized that investing in the Latin American technology ecosystem enables a model where proximity fuels collaboration, an increasingly important determinant for clients seeking agility and cultural alignment.
“We are creating a future where proximity fuels partnership and where collaboration and scale meet ingenuity,” he concluded.
