Expansion In India
UKG has been present in India since 2007.

By tapping into Pune’s thriving technology talent ecosystem-including the presence of premier engineering colleges and a talented tech community-UKG aims to accelerate its mission of helping organizations become great places to work.
To celebrate this milestone, an exclusive networking event with Pune’s top and trending tech minds was organised this week, with an opportunity to explore new ideas and strengthen the bonds that drive our collective success as a region.
“India has always been a key global growth engine for us. The contributions from the India team have been critical for UKG in reaching the #1 market share position in our industry worldwide. Our continued India expansion, starting here in Pune, will play a pivotal role in driving the next chapter of our global growth success,” said Nitin Chandel, Group Vice President & India Country Manager, UKG. “Our investment in this new centre reinforces our long-term commitment to India and recognizes Pune’s rising stature in the global tech landscape as a strategic location for growth and AI-led innovation.”
“At UKG, we are focused on building global platforms that power the modern workforce.

The talent we bring here will be at the forefront of solving complex challenges and shaping the future of our global HCM and workforce management solutions.”
