Revenues generated from repeat business

Acquisitions have been key to scaling our technology capabilities and delivering better value to customers. Over the last few years, we have acquired companies like OSSCube, Cupola, Pimcore Global Services (PGS), Sri Mookambika Infosolutions and recently PureSoftware Technologies, and Aureus Tech Systems which have significantly helped fill technology gaps and increased our people strength by 1,400.


Our business expansion strategy is propelled by diverse domains and technology expertise, ensuring scalability and reliability. We have created a new verticalization structure of six industry groups that will be the bedrock of new growth engines, enabling us to compete better in the global markets. The Industry Groups are: Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI); EdTech; Healthcare & Life Sciences; Hi-Tech and Media & Entertainment; Industrial, Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities; and Retail, CPG & Logistics. We remain dedicated to enhancing our expertise by strategic recruitments within each industry group and subgroup.

Key Focus Areas

  • Strengthening sales with domain expertise for effective customer engagement
  • Scaling expertise in emerging technologies: Generative AI, AI, Low-Code/No Code, Cybersecurity
  • Enhancing technology proficiency, particularly in Generative AI
  • Exploring new verticals and technologies for diversification and competitive edge

Expanding our presence in key markets facilitates the attraction of new clientele, exploration of untapped revenue streams, maintaining competitive advantage, and seizing emerging market opportunities. Over the years, we have effectively established a foothold in prominent IT markets such as the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and the Middle East. These markets are served through both onshore and offshore offices located in India, specifically in Pune, Noida, and Bengaluru. In FY 2022-23, we extended our reach by inaugurating two additional offices in the US, enhancing our ability to cater to customer needs. Through the acquisition of PureSoftware, Happiest Minds gets a near-shore presence in Mexico and offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and Africa. Additionally, we also expanded into tier-II locations in India, including Madurai, Bhubaneswar, and Coimbatore, to access cost-efficient and skilled talent pools. Happiest Minds has also expanded its team in Noida (through PureSoftware acquisition) and a new office in Hyderabad (through Aureus acquisition).

Intellectual Properties (IPs) constitute a fundamental aspect of our offerings, enhancing our revenue streams. By integrating niche IPs that complement our current services, we elevate our capacity to deliver value to our clients. As innovation remains pivotal in propelling our growth trajectory, we concurrently cultivate and monetize a robust IP strategy to bolster revenue generation. Our competitive edge lies in the combination of high-quality deliverables and expedited service facilitated by our adept engineering talent, proprietary software development lifecycle processes, cutting-edge applications and tools, and rigorous project management methodologies. This positioning establishes us as a partner-of-choice and solution provider.
