Indian information technology company HCLTech will be expanding its operations in Romania and hiring 1,000 employees in the country in the next two years. A third of the new roles will be offered to graduates recruited from HCLTech’s partner universities in Romania.

As we celebrate our fifth anniversary and embark on the next phase of our growth journey in the country, we remain committed to supercharging progress for our people and local communities,” said Iulian Paduraru, HCLTech’s country lead for Romania.

HCLTech has also signed Romania’s Diversity Charter, and in accordance, 47% of the company’s employees in the country are woman. Further, under one of the initiatives, HCLTech is running an internship program in Romania to help train students and hire them for entry-level roles. 

“It is a matter of pride for all of us that HCLTech, one of the leading India-headquartered IT services and solutions providers, has achieved significant success in Romania in just five years. HCLTech’s growth in Romania can be attributed to its customer-centric approach, strong execution capabilities and focus on innovation and digital transformation. HCLTech has become a key player in the country’s IT services market,” said Rahul Shrivastava, Ambassador of India to Romania, Albania and Moldova.
