AHMEDABAD, Jan 15 — York IE, a strategic growth and investment firm based in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States, today announced its expansion in Ahmedabad. This move marks a significant milestone in Gujarat’s journey towards becoming a leading hub for technology and innovation.
The new Ahmedabad office stands as York IE’s global capability centre for its Product Strategy and Development services, housing skilled workers who play a pivotal role in bringing successful products and websites to life for growing Software as a service (SaaS) companies.
Over the next five years, York IE plans to transform its Ahmedabad office into a global acceleration centre for various business units — including product development, marketing, financial operations and revenue operations — with 500 employees. The firm is also set to collaborate with Gujarat’s top engineering colleges, ensuring a steady flow of highly skilled professionals into the technology sector.
On expansion, Kalrav Parsana, head of York IE India said, “This ambitious plan positions York IE as a premier destination for top-tier product managers and engineers. A key element of our strategy is tapping into the rich talent pool fostered by Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar’s esteemed educational institutions,”
“It is our hope that York IE will become a beacon of Gujarat’s burgeoning potential. It marks a significant step in the state’s journey to becoming a key player in the global business ecosystem,” added Parsana.
York IE’s growth in Ahmedabad comes at a time when the city is increasingly being recognized as an attractive destination for global companies. Following initiatives such as GIFT City and various corporate incentives, Ahmedabad is rapidly evolving from a centre for back-office operations to a strategic centre of international expansion plans.
Since opening in 2021, York IE India has grown from 15 employees, initially sourced from local IT company ACW Technologies, to 105. York IE’s additional advisory services offerings include Corporate Strategy and Go-to-Market.
Through York IE’s Product Strategy and Development offering, companies can work with world-class strategists, developers and designers to create roadmaps and build products that drive business growth. The firm’s development services include, application development, software engineering, backlog management, quality assurance, testing, user experience design and platform modernization.
