What was announced

Hexaware Technologies has been certified by Analytics India Magazine (AIM) as a Best Firm for Forward-Deployed Engineering (FDE) talent to work for. The certification follows feedback from 129 Hexaware AI architects, drawn from talent developed through the company's AI Academy and Architecture Fellowship program.

How the assessment was done

• AIM's assessment uses an anonymous employee survey covering 33 statements.
• Each statement was rated on a five-point scale and normalised to a 10-point score.
• It measures five areas: customer and solution alignment; FDE delivery excellence and ownership; growth and learning; inclusion and belonging; and psychological safety.

The scores

• Hexaware recorded an overall score of 8.42/10.
• Among its strongest individual measures: outcome-based success measurement at 8.80, production readiness at 8.74, and responsible AI voice and failure recovery at 8.69 each.

What the company said

Vinod Chandran, Chief Operating Officer, said forward-deployed engineering is where technology meets the reality of a customer's business, and that the goal is to give these teams the context, autonomy and support to solve the right problem, get solutions into production and stay accountable for the outcome. He said the certification is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the people doing that work.

Tony Mohanty, Executive Vice President & Global Head – Talent Management, said strong FDE talent cannot be built through a one-time training program, and that it takes deep technical learning, exposure to real problems, mentoring and repeated opportunities to apply what people learn. He said the feedback gives a valuable measure of how that investment is translating into the employee experience.

How to read this

This is a recognition of Hexaware's talent pool and employer brand in AI-focused, customer-facing delivery roles. The certification gives the company an external benchmark for the environment it is creating for AI architects working in customer-facing, production-oriented roles. For a retail investor, it is a qualitative signal about the company's ability to build and retain forward-deployed engineering talent, and it is not a financial or order-related disclosure.
