IndoJapanGCC – Quess Corp Joins Hands to Expand Japan-Focused Tech Centers in India
IndoJapanGCC – India’s business services sector is set to gain further momentum after Quess Corp announced a strategic collaboration aimed at helping Japanese companies establish and expand technology-focused operations in the country. The initiative seeks to strengthen economic cooperation between India and Japan while addressing growing demand for skilled professionals in advanced technology sectors.
New Corridor to Support Japanese Businesses
Quess Corp, through its wholly owned subsidiary Quess International Services Private Limited, has entered into a partnership with Japan-based Institution for a Global Society (IGS) and Indo-Pacific Advisory (IPA). Together, the organizations plan to build a dedicated Indo-Japan Global Capability Center (GCC) corridor designed to assist Japanese enterprises in launching and scaling operations across India.
The corridor will focus on areas such as artificial intelligence, engineering services, cybersecurity, banking and financial services, and digital transformation. According to the company, the initiative aligns with expanding trade and investment ties between the two nations, including Japan’s commitment to invest 5 trillion yen in India by 2027.
India Emerging as a Strategic Talent Hub
Industry leaders believe India has become an increasingly attractive destination for global capability centers due to its large talent base and growing digital expertise. Quess Corp Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer Lohit Bhatia said India offers much more than operational cost advantages, providing access to highly skilled technology professionals capable of supporting large-scale transformation projects.
He noted that the collaboration creates a structured pathway for Japanese companies seeking to establish long-term operations in India. The partnership is also expected to generate high-value employment opportunities for Indian professionals across several technology-driven industries.
Combining Expertise From Three Organizations
Under the arrangement, Quess International Services will contribute its experience in workforce management and GCC execution. IGS will provide access to Japanese corporate networks, while Indo-Pacific Advisory will support businesses through its understanding of regulatory frameworks and institutional relationships.
The partners believe this combined approach can simplify expansion plans for Japanese firms that may otherwise face challenges when entering a new market. The alliance is expected to offer support at every stage, from initial market assessment and pilot projects to large-scale operational growth.
Japan Faces Rising Demand for Skilled Technology Workers
Japan is currently experiencing significant demand for professionals with expertise in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and engineering. Industry projections indicate the country could require as many as 790,000 additional technology and engineering specialists by 2030.
Institution for a Global Society Founder and Chief Executive Officer Masahiro Fukuhara said Japanese businesses are confronting a dual challenge of technological transformation and demographic change. With an aging population and a shrinking workforce, companies increasingly need access to global talent pools.
He highlighted India’s young population, strong science and technology education base, and growing expertise in fields such as cybersecurity and emerging AI technologies as key factors making the country a valuable strategic partner.
Focus on Long-Term Economic Cooperation
Indo-Pacific Advisory Founder Nihal Chauhan said relations between India and Japan are entering a new phase characterized by deeper cooperation in technology, innovation, and capability development. He noted that many Japanese firms now view India not only as a market for expansion but also as a source of innovation and specialized expertise.
According to Chauhan, the partnership aims to reduce entry barriers for Japanese businesses by providing guidance on regulatory processes, local partnerships, and operational planning. This framework is intended to create a more reliable and sustainable route for companies seeking to tap into India’s innovation ecosystem.
