New Delhi, Oct. 22 -- Lingaro, a data and analytics firm headquartered in Poland, is increasing its investment in India, and is positioning itself as a strategic innovation hub in the country for its global expansion and AI initiatives. The company, which serves over 200 enterprise clients globally, aims to expand its India business by 30% annually over the next five years.
"India represents the ideal environment for developing next-generation digital solutions for forward-thinking enterprises," Sam Mantle, CEO, Lingaro Group, told TechCircle on his recent visit to India. "The combination of exceptional tech talent and a thriving Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem makes it central to our global strategy."
India at the Core of Global Expansion
Lingaro's India operations are evolving beyond delivery to become a strategic innovation engine. The company aims to build capabilities that support AI maturity, sector-specific solutions, and responsible innovation for both domestic and global markets.
Mantle notes that India's strong AI policy push and the rapid growth of GCCs make it an attractive destination for global data-driven enterprises. "Our growth target reflects both the opportunity we see and our commitment to realising it," he said.
The company is scaling teams in GenAI, advanced analytics, cloud modernisation, ESG reporting, and supply chain optimisation. Beyond technology, Lingaro is investing in leadership development, diversity, and workforce inclusion. "Our IT Power Women Global Mentoring Program, launched in India this year, shows our focus on advancing both the human and technical sides of the AI revolution," he added.
Building AI Maturity for GCCs
With over 1,900 GCCs operating in India, Lingaro sees a huge opportunity to help global firms transform their centres into AI-driven innovation hubs. "We partner with global companies to elevate their data and AI maturity, transforming GCCs into true centres of excellence," said Mantle. "Our strength lies in combining the agility of a niche specialist with the scale of a global provider."
The results are tangible - AI-powered compliance tools have cut reporting times by 30x, while smart dashboards have improved store sales by 25%. Lingaro's proprietary accelerators and frameworks also reduce "time to value" for enterprises looking to scale AI projects efficiently, informed Mantle.
From Pilots to Production
As India's AI conversation shifts from experimentation to real-world deployment, Lingaro's role is to bridge innovation with business impact. "Our approach ensures AI initiatives deliver measurable ROI," Mantle explained. "We start with business objectives-whether revenue growth, operational efficiency, or compliance-and then deploy scalable, sustainable AI solutions." The company's GenAI models integrate seamlessly into client workflows, ensuring quality, accuracy, and adoption. "Even the best AI solution is useless if it's not effectively used," he says. "Our user-centric approach makes technology truly work for business." Localising Global Expertise
With 17 years of experience in CPG analytics, Lingaro is adapting its global expertise for Indian sectors such as retail, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals.
In retail, it helps brands optimise omnichannel performance through AI-driven insights. In manufacturing, it builds predictive analytics and supply chain intelligence to improve asset utilisation. For pharma, it delivers AI-enabled compliance and data governance frameworks tailored to local regulations.
"Our harmonised global delivery model helps clients deploy faster without sacrificing quality," says Mantle.
Driving Responsible AI
Sustainability and ethical AI are now central to enterprise strategy, and Lingaro has embedded these principles into its offerings. The company's sustainability analytics tools help clients track carbon footprints, design fair algorithms, and optimise energy use through efficient architecture. "Indian enterprises understand that responsible AI is not just good ethics-it's good business," Mantle says.
The Road Ahead
Looking forward, Lingaro is exploring emerging frontiers such as causal and neuromorphic intelligence, an approach to computing that mimics the way the human brain works and related areas where Mantle believes that Indian enterprises are already showing curiosity. "We're co-creating with forward-thinking Indian partners to explore these possibilities responsibly," he says. "Ultimately, India is not just another delivery market for Lingaro-it's the nerve centre of its global transformation agenda".
"India is a delivery hub, an innovation centre, and a strategic growth engine all at once," Mantle concludes. "Our success here will be defined not just by revenue, but by the innovation we deliver and the talent we empower to lead it."
