IT consultancy Levio expands into India

Levio, a Quebec City-headquartered IT consulting firm, has opened an office in Mumbai, India.

The new India operations will serve as a development centre to support global delivery. Levio previously opened a delivery centre in Morocco.

The consulting firm says India provides an “impressive pool of IT talent” and has evolved beyond a location for simple cost arbitrage.

“India's vision to become a world-leading digital economy is aligned with Levio's strategy of becoming a preferred global partner in digital transformation,” said François Dion, president and founder.

“For Levio, a digitally optimized organization, India offers important advantages such as its highly adaptive culture & professional work ethics. These attributes make India a destination of choice to set-up an offshoring facility that will bring value to our customers."

Levio has hired Shakar Ramkrishnan as managing director and leader of operations in India. Ramkrishnan brings more than 20 years of IT function experience in the financial services sector. He previously spent over two decades at BNP Paribas Corporate and Institutional Banking, leading corporate banking and transaction banking IT for India.

Levio was founded in 2013 and has rapidly grown to nearly 2,000 people across 12 offices in Canada, the US, France, Morocco, and India.

The firm delivers services in strategic planning, enterprise software, DevOps, enterprise architecture, infrastructure and cloud, program management, change management, cybersecurity, data, and emerging technology.
