Set to ramp up its workforce in India by 2,000<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Hyderabad, August 19, 2026:<\/strong>\u00a0Phenom<\/strong>,\u00a0a global leader in Applied AI for human resources and workforce transformation<\/em>, is set to deepen its presence in India with increased investments in technology, talent and innovation. The company plans to create\u00a0more than 2,000 additional employment opportunities in India\u00a0in the coming years, while expanding its physical footprint in Telangana.<\/p>\n \n The company’s India growth plans will be highlighted at\u00a0IAMPHENOM India 2026<\/strong>, to be held on\u00a0December 17, 2026, at Novotel Hyderabad. Positioned as a dedicated platform for Applied AI in HR and IT, the event will bring together HR professionals, talent acquisition leaders, HRIT teams and C-suite executives to explore how AI can deliver measurable outcomes in hiring, employee development and workforce retention.<\/p>\n \n Mahe Bayireddi, CEO and Co-Founder, Phenom<\/strong>, said\u00a0the future of work is being shaped by how organisations invest in their people. He said IAMPHENOM India will help leaders move from experimenting with AI to transforming how people work, develop and grow. He added that India’s technology expertise, talent and ambition position it strongly to drive this transformation.<\/em><\/p>\n \n Founded in\u00a02010\u00a0and Headquartered in Greater Philadelphia, Phenom operates across Canada, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom, with employees across approximately a dozen countries and six continents. The company serves\u00a0more than 500 global enterprises\u00a0across technology, healthcare, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, transportation, finance, energy and utilities. Its customers include leading organisations such as\u00a0Microsoft, Honeywell and Southwest Airlines.<\/p>\n \n Phenom’s India operations are centred in\u00a0Hyderabad, with additional centres in\u00a0Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru. The India team spans engineering, product development, data science, customer success and support, making the country one of the company’s largest technology and talent hubs outside the US. Its India customer base includes\u00a0Royal Enfield, IDFC, Dr. Reddy’s, Capgemini, PwC, NTT DATA, OpenText and Eli Lilly.<\/p>\n \n Phenom’s Applied AI platform is built around four core components,\u00a0Engines, Ontologies, X AI and Agents. Engines harmonise enterprise data and orchestrate workflows, Ontologies provide industry- and role-specific context, X AI personalises experiences for candidates, employees, recruiters and managers, while Agents execute tasks alongside talent teams. These capabilities support applications ranging from career sites, recruiting chatbots and candidate relationship management to interview scheduling, video assessments, internal talent marketplaces, career pathing, mentoring and referrals.<\/p>\n \n Rather than treating AI as an add-on, Phenom integrates these technologies into existing talent workflows, creating a connected platform spanning the entire talent lifecycle, from candidate engagement and hiring to employee development and internal mobility.<\/p>\n \n IAMPHENOM India 2026 to Showcase AI in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n IAMPHENOM India 2026 will focus on helping organisations move beyond AI experimentation towards measurable business outcomes. The programme will feature keynote sessions by HR leaders, industry analysts and technology experts, along with practitioner-led sessions demonstrating how AI, agents and automation are addressing real-world hiring, development and retention challenges.<\/p>\n \n Attendees will experience\u00a0live AI agent demonstrations, product keynotes and immersive experiences showcasing how AI can transform day-to-day work. A dedicated\u00a0AI and Automation Learning Lab, built around an Agent Centre, will offer hands-on exposure to more than two dozen use cases mapped to specific roles, industries and geographies. The event will also facilitate direct engagement with Phenom experts and peer networking among HR and IT leaders.<\/p>\n \n Responsible, Human-Centred AI<\/strong><\/p>\n Phenom focuses on moving organisations from isolated AI pilots to measurable outcomes such as faster hiring, reduced manual workloads and better alignment between talent and business strategy. AI agents can screen and shortlist candidates, automate interview scheduling, personalise job recommendations and identify internal opportunities before external hiring.<\/p>\n \n For employees and candidates, the technology enables personalised job discovery, greater visibility into career paths and faster communication.<\/p>\n \n Phenom emphasises\u00a0enterprise security, regulatory compliance and explainability, with AI designed to augment human judgement rather than replace it. Its purpose of\u00a0helping a billion people find the right work\u00a0guides its approach to technology and innovation.<\/p>\n \n Phenom has earned several global accolades, including recognition on the\u00a0Inc. 5000\u00a0list for seven consecutive years,\u00a0Deloitte Technology Fast 500\u00a0for five years and\u00a011 Brandon Hall Excellence in Technology awards. Phenom India has also received recognition for workplace culture, AI innovation, talent acquisition and diversity. With its expanding India operations and continued investment in Applied AI, Phenom is positioning India as a key hub in its global strategy to help organisations\u00a0hire faster, develop better and retain longer.<\/p>\n \n In his address at the press conference\u00a0Mahe Bayireddi<\/strong>\u00a0said, Phenom was founded with a simple purpose,\u00a0to help a billion people find their life\u2019s goal<\/strong>. The difference between simply having a job and finding the right job, one where people feel connected, engaged and capable of doing their best work, is significant. Technology is the means to make that possible.\u00a0Today, AI is fundamentally transforming the talent landscape. The future is about combining\u00a0automation, intelligence and experience<\/strong>. Frontline hiring, for instance, can be highly automated, while hiring for specialised roles such as nurses or software engineers requires deeper intelligence to understand skills, capabilities and fit.\u00a0A key shift is that\u00a0jobs are becoming tasks<\/strong>. The typist disappeared as a profession, but typing became a universal skill. AI will create a similar transition: some jobs will become tasks, while entirely new jobs will emerge. We are in the middle of an unprecedented transformation of work.<\/p>\n \n According to him, India, with a workforce of about 500 million and millions entering the workforce every year, presents an enormous opportunity. The rise of platforms such as Swiggy and Zomato demonstrates how technology can fundamentally reshape workflows and create new categories of employment. AI will accelerate this transformation by\u00a0rewriting workflows, reducing time and cost, and improving coordination<\/strong>.\u00a0Phenom addresses this through an\u00a0intelligent talent experience platform<\/strong>\u00a0that connects candidates, employees, managers, recruiters and HR. It uses data and AI to help organisations hire faster, onboard effectively, retain talent and redesign workflows. Companies across manufacturing, technology, financial services, healthcare and consumer sectors use Phenom\u2019s solutions.\u00a0At the heart of this transformation is\u00a0context<\/strong>. Every organisation has a unique culture, leadership style, workforce and way of operating. AI can turn unstructured information into structured insights and deliver\u00a0hyper-personalised experiences<\/strong>\u00a0based on the context of each individual, role and organisation.<\/p>\n Mahe Bayireddi<\/strong>\u00a0added, Phenom is therefore moving beyond traditional HR software towards a\u00a0Work Operating System<\/strong>, bringing humans and machines together to improve collaboration and performance. With around 25 AI agents supporting the HR ecosystem, its approach is to\u00a0optimise people first and automation second<\/strong>, moving from managing resources to managing the conditions for performance.\u00a0As an applied AI company focused specifically on HR, Phenom aims to help organisations navigate the next phase of the people-business transformation and bring AI into the HR ecosystem at scale. Its India operations span\u00a0Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru<\/strong>, with continued growth and a focus on shaping how HR evolves over the next two decades.<\/p>\n \n ABOUT PHENOM<\/strong><\/p>\n Phenom is a global HR technology company on a mission to help a billion people find the right work.
