Business Challenges

The company needed to build a large, high-velocity engineering center from a standing start, reaching real productivity in weeks while setting up to scale well beyond the first team.

Starting from scratch No ceiling in sight AI from day one
With no India presence, the company had to stand up a secure center and ramp a 150+ member team almost immediately. The eventual size of the center was uncertain, so the setup had to hold up well beyond the initial 150+ team. The team had to adopt an AI-first way of working from the outset, then pollinate it to headquarters and other global teams.
Why it mattered

Delay would stall the engineering org the business was building its future on, and a shaky foundation would cap how far the center could grow. The AI-first way of working had to prove out here before it could spread to headquarters and global teams.

Solution

Altimetrik established a secure offshore delivery center in India and ramped a 150+ engineer team in 6 weeks. An AI-enabled knowledge transition brought the team to steady-state productivity in 8, compressing a ramp-up that usually takes quarters.
Beyond the speed, Altimetrik seeded the leadership needed to shape and grow the center, and embedded an AI-first way of working the company could take back to headquarters and its global teams.
How Altimetrik runs that model, from talent and leadership to the AI operating rhythm, is where the real advantage lives.
