GTT Data to Focus on Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships in Next 12-18 Months
You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.
GTT Data Solutions, a new-age tech company, will be going after strategic acquisitions and partnerships in the next 12-18 months as it aims to scale from its current revenue levels to INR 500 crore by 2030.
"In the next 12–18 months, while organic growth will remain largely India-focused, our global expansion – through targeted acquisitions and strategic partnerships – will play a key role in driving margin improvement," Ganesh Natarajan, Chairman of GTT Data, told Entrepreneur India.
"At the core of our growth strategy is Dual Intelligence – the strategic convergence of human expertise and artificial intelligence. This approach is already translating into strong client stickiness and expanding long-term value creation, especially in sectors grappling with rapid digital shifts. Looking ahead, we anticipate industry leading growth over the next 3–5 years," Natarajan added.
Over the past year or so, GTT Data has integrated seven companies, each designed to strengthen its capabilities across AI, automation, cloud infrastructure, enterprise platforms, data analytics, and digital skilling. Some of these companies are: Itarium Technologies, CRG Solutions, Alpharithm, Ujjvilas Technologies, Shikuyaa, Global Talent Track, and SEED Infotech.
"Our recent acquisition of Alpharithm's Singapore arm further strengthens our international presence and deepens our capabilities in AI and automation," Natarajan said.
GTT Data believes in expanding beyond metros to tier-II and tier-III cities. As part of this strategy, the company is scaling up its presence in Sangli, Maharashtra. "As of today, GTT Data Solutions has a talented workforce of about 700 employees across India. This includes 70 team members at our Sangli centre, which we aim to grow to 500 over the next three years," said Natarajan.
GTT's hiring is centered on two major themes: strategic scale and talent quality. "We are actively recruiting across AI, automation, cloud, analytics, enterprise platforms, and UX/UI—areas bolstered by our recent acquisitions. Simultaneously, we're building long-duration, mutually beneficial relationships with engineering colleges, especially in tier-II cities like Sangli, to bring in fresh graduates and equip them with both technical and soft skills," he added.
In addition to Sangli, GTT Data Solutions has existing centres in Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, serving a wide array of clients across sectors.
Currently, nearly 90 per cent of the company's revenue is contributed by clients in India. "That said, we are actively working to diversify this mix. By 2030, our goal is to have 60 per cent of revenues coming from international markets and 40 per cent from India. This strategic rebalancing reflects our global ambitions and the strengthening of our international delivery capabilities. We are particularly focused on expanding in the US, Southeast Asia, and Europe, markets where enterprise demand for AI-led transformation is rapidly accelerating," Natarajan said.
Sector wise, GTT Data is focussing on transforming key sectors such as technology services, BFSI, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing. "These are industries where our Dual Intelligence model, combining human expertise with advanced AI, delivers measurable impact. Our flagship GAIN (GTT AI Accelerator Network) initiative is also accelerating this momentum by supporting over 100 emerging AI startups with mentorship, market access, and joint innovation opportunities," he added.

Smart Mobility Maker
Since its inception, Alt Mobility has experienced rapid growth, deploying over 13,000 EVs and operating in more than 30 cities. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. When Dev Arora co-founded Alt Mobility in 2022, he had a clear goal in mind: to make electric mobility more accessible and practical for India's expanding transportation landscape. With his experience in startup innovation and a keen sense for market opportunities, Arora recognised that one of the biggest hurdles to EV adoption wasn't the technology—it was financing. "Traditional lenders weren't built for the EV revolution," Arora, Co-founder and CEO of Alt Mobility, explained. "We needed to develop a new model, one that caters to both businesses and everyday drivers." This new approach led to the creation of Alt Mobility—an EV leasing and asset management platform that goes beyond just providing vehicles. The startup has built a comprehensive ecosystem that includes maintenance, servicing, roadside assistance, and access to an extensive charging and service network. Since its inception, Alt Mobility has experienced rapid growth, deploying over 13,000 EVs and operating in more than 30 cities. With an asset under management (AUM) exceeding INR 250 crore, it now caters to both commercial fleets and individual drivers, offering flexible and cost-effective leasing solutions. "For many people, purchasing an EV feels risky," Arora noted. "We eliminate that uncertainty by providing all-inclusive plans that cover service, warranty, insurance, and even 24/7 support." At the core of Alt's offerings is its proprietary FleetOS platform, which utilises AI, IoT, and telematics to monitor vehicle health, track usage, and ensure proactive maintenance. This not only prolongs the life of the vehicles but also maximises uptime—essential for businesses that depend on having vehicles ready for revenue generation. What sets Alt Mobility apart is its Drive-to-Own model, which enables drivers to gradually shift from leasing to ownership. This approach has been particularly beneficial for individuals who lack access to traditional financing, fostering economic empowerment and long-term asset creation. "Ownership is a powerful thing, especially for those working to build their livelihoods," Arora emphasised. "We aimed to create a pathway that makes that possible." Scaling the business definitely came with its challenges. Getting customers on board with a new approach to owning and managing vehicles meant we had to focus on education and building trust. "Alt tackled this by blending innovation with robust support systems and forming partnerships throughout the EV value chain—from manufacturers to charging networks," he explained. Looking to the future, Dev sees opportunities to branch out into four-wheeled cargo vehicles and electric buses, strengthening their foothold in key markets across India and playing a crucial role in the nation's shift towards clean mobility. "The future of transportation in India is electric. We're committed to fostering a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future for India's mobility landscape," he added. Facts:

Trump says no imminent plans to penalize China for buying Russian oil
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he did not immediately need to consider retaliatory tariffs on countries such as China for buying Russian oil but might have to "in two or three weeks." Trump has threatened sanctions on Moscow and secondary sanctions on countries that buy its oil if no moves are made to end the war in Ukraine. China and India are the top two buyers of Russian oil. The president last week imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing its continued imports of Russian oil. However, Trump has not taken similar action against China. He was asked by Fox News' Sean Hannity if he was now considering such action against Beijing after he and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to produce an agreement to resolve or pause Moscow's war in Ukraine. "Well, because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that," Trump said after his summit with Putin in Alaska. "Now, I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now. I think, you know, the meeting went very well." Chinese President Xi Jinping's slowing economy will suffer if Trump follows through on a promise to ramp up Russia-related sanctions and tariffs. Xi and Trump are working on a trade deal that could lower tensions - and import taxes - between the world's two biggest economies. But China could be the biggest remaining target, outside of Russia, if Trump ramps up punitive measures. Solve the daily Crossword
