PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 23: Hexaware Technologies (NSE: HEXT), an AI-first digital and IT services company, hosted a delegation led by Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, and Bev Craig, Mayor of Greater Manchester, as part of The Great North's first joint mayoral-led trade mission to India Hexaware met with Tracy Brabin and delegates from West Yorkshire at its Mumbai office to discuss the company's UK investment plans, regional employment, and opportunities for technology collaboration across the North of England. During the visit, Hexaware and the University of Leeds discussed their agreement to strengthen industry-academic collaboration through research, knowledge sharing, and experiential learning opportunities for students. Earlier in the mission, on October 14 in Bengaluru, Hexaware leaders met Bev Craig, Mayor of Greater Manchester, together with representatives of the British Deputy High Commission and the Invest Manchester team, to discuss Hexaware's investment in the city region. Hexaware announced that it will create hundreds of jobs and invest £9 million in a new Design and Innovation Centre at Manchester's innovation district, SISTER, delivered in collaboration with the University of Manchester. By establishing a base at SISTER, Hexaware will have access to Europe's largest clinical academic campus on Manchester's Oxford Road Corridor and a rapidly expanding digital and tech ecosystem within the city. The visits follow Hexaware's June 2026 announcement of a £25 million UK expansion, expected to create approximately 1,200 jobs over three to five years across Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham, including 420 in Manchester and 240 in Leeds. Plans include proposed R & D centers in Manchester and Leeds, with Newcastle also under consideration as a potential future location, given the region's strong university talent pool and proximity to Scotland. Parameshwaran Iyer, Executive Vice President & Head - Europe, Hexaware, said, "The North of England is an important part of our UK growth plans. Our investment goes into developing technology capabilities and recruiting graduates from the region's universities, training them to work with enterprise and public-sector customers. Our new agreement with the University of Leeds will strengthen this pipeline, giving us closer access to graduate talent as we grow our presence in the region. We see considerable potential in the talent and expertise available across these cities." Bev Craig, Mayor of Greater Manchester, said, "Greater Manchester has established strengths in healthcare, life sciences, and AI, supported by close cooperation between universities, researchers, and industry. We welcome Hexaware's plans for Manchester and the opportunities they present for investment, innovation, and employment in these sectors." Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, said, "It was great to visit Hexaware's headquarters in Mumbai and hear first-hand about the company's ambitious plans for growth in the UK. Their investment in Leeds and the creation of hundreds of new jobs is fantastic news for West Yorkshire and a strong vote of confidence in our region. Trade missions like this give us the opportunity to meet decision-makers directly, strengthen international relationships and explore how businesses like Hexaware can deepen their links with West Yorkshire to create a stronger, better-off region that works for all." Glenn McCauley, Head of Proposition Development at the University of Leeds, said, "We were delighted to join this Great North Mayoral Delegation to India and to discuss with Hexaware leadership and with the Mayor of West Yorkshire how the University of Leeds' agreement with Hexaware can be a catalyst to drive economic growth in our region." India and the North of England are connected above all through people, with more than 81,000 people of Indian heritage living in Yorkshire and the Humber, and 50,000 people of Indian diaspora in Greater Manchester. Thousands of Indian students also choose universities in the two regions every year. Increasingly, Indian companies are also among the region's investors and employers. The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), in force since July 2026, alongside The Great North's investment initiatives, gives that relationship fresh momentum. Hexaware will continue discussions with regional partners on its proposed R & D facilities, graduate recruitment, and technology partnerships across the North of England, drawing on Leeds' strengths in digital engineering, data science, robotics, fintech, and technology-enabled care, and Manchester's strengths in healthcare, life sciences, cyber, and AI.

Hexaware Named a Leader in three quadrants and a Rising Star in the ISG Provider Lens(R) AWS Ecosystem Partners 2026 U.S. Quadrant Report. Information Services Group (ISG), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has named Hexaware a Leader in three quadrants of its ISG Provider Lens(R) AWS Ecosystem Partners 2026 U.S. report. The three quadrants are AWS Professional Services, AWS Data Lifecycle Management Services, and AI-Powered Business Transformation with AWS. Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, DXC Technology, HCLTech, Infosys, LTM, NTT DATA, Persistent Systems, PwC, Rackspace Technology, TCS, and Wipro were also named Leaders in these three quadrants. Hexaware was also recognized as a Rising Star in AWS Managed Services, alongside Coforge. ISG finds that cloud migration is no longer the end goal for U.S. enterprises on AWS. Organizations now expect their AWS programs to move AI out of pilots and into production with measurable results. That expectation is pushing buyers and providers alike to prioritize autonomous agents, well-governed data, self-managing cloud operations, and tighter control over AI spending. Leader - AWS Professional Services ISG points to Hexaware's use of AI and automation to speed up AWS delivery. The report cites Amaze(R), Hexaware's AI-powered modernization platform with more than 20 agents. It also cites an AI-powered internal development platform that automates provisioning and governance checks. Together, these help clients modernize faster, with stronger controls and quicker returns on their cloud investments. Leader - AWS Data Lifecycle Management Services ISG credits Hexaware with helping enterprises prepare their data for AI. Its metadata-driven frameworks, real-time streaming architectures, and automated retention and archival policies give organizations better control and visibility across the data lifecycle. As a result, they can get more out of data-led transformation. Leader - AI-Powered Business Transformation with AWS According to ISG, Hexaware grounds its AI work on AWS in measurable business results and solutions built to scale. Hexaware draws on Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, and its own assets such as Amaze(R) AI Agents and Agentverse(TM). With these, it helps clients in sectors like financial services and healthcare modernize how they operate, with responsible AI controls built in. Rising Star - AWS Managed Services Hexaware earns Rising Star status for its Cognitive CloudOps approach. This approach brings AI-assisted operations, FinOps-driven cost governance, security, and automation together in one model. ISG sees it as a well-rounded managed services offering that keeps AWS environments running reliably, tunes them for performance, and keeps improving them over time. Hexaware Named a Leader in AWS Professional Services in the ISG Provider Lens(R) AWS Ecosystem Partners 2026 U.S. Quadrant Study "Hexaware combines AI-enabled cloud transformation, agentic modernization through Amaze(R) and AWS consulting expertise to accelerate large-scale migration, modernization and cloud-native engineering outcomes." - Sameen Mohammed Siddique, Lead Analyst, ISG Hexaware Named a Leader in AWS Data Lifecycle Management Services in the ISG Provider Lens(R) AWS Ecosystem Partners 2026 U.S. Quadrant Study "Hexaware combines AI-ready data platforms, governance-led modernization and intelligent automation to help enterprises accelerate data transformation while improving scalability, usability and business value." - Dr. Tapati Bandopadhyay, Lead Analyst and Research Partner, ISG Hexaware Named a Leader in AI-Powered Business Transformation with AWS in the ISG Provider Lens(R) AWS Ecosystem Partners 2026 U.S. Quadrant Study "Hexaware translates emerging AWS AI capabilities into practical business solutions that enhance operational efficiency, agility and decision-making." - Dr. Tapati Bandopadhyay, Lead Analyst and Research Partner, ISG Hexaware Named a Rising Star in AWS Managed Services in the ISG Provider Lens(R) AWS Ecosystem Partners 2026 U.S. Quadrant Report "Hexaware combines AI-assisted SRE, observability, FinOps and automation-led operations to deliver through a structured AWS Managed Services model focused on reliability, governance and operational efficiency." - Sameen Mohammed Siddique, Lead Analyst, ISG
