# Phenom to add 2,000 jobs in India, expand operations 2026-08-20T22:19:05+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet HRtech company Phenom plans to expand its India operations by creating more than 2,000 jobs in the coming years, with a focus on Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru. The company will invest in technology, talent and innovation, and increase its footprint in Telangana. Phenom's CEO Mahe Bayireddi said India's technology talent and ambition make it central to the future of work, and organisations must move from AI experiments to measurable transformation. The company, headquartered in Greater Philadelphia, US, operates globally across Canada, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. Its platform uses AI and agents for recruiting, scheduling, talent marketplaces, career pathing and mentoring. Phenom serves more than 500 enterprises worldwide, including Microsoft, Honeywell and Southwest Airlines. Its India customers include Royal Enfield, IDFC, Dr Reddy's, Capgemini, PwC, NTT DATA, OpenText and Eli Lilly. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Phenom's expansion follows a broader trend of global tech firms deepening R&D centres in India for cost-effective talent. Hyderabad already hosts major HRtech players, giving Phenom access to a skilled workforce. The company's focus on 'explainable AI' aligns with emerging Indian data protection rules, which could become a compliance advantage. The key milestone to watch is IAMPHENOM India 2026 on Dec 17, 2026, where detailed hiring plans will be outlined. If fulfilled, the 2,000-job addition would boost Telangana's services sector, which employs over 7 lakh people. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straightforward announcement of company plans, no slant or editorialising This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
