BENGALURU, INDIA — Staffing firm Quess Corp is gearing up for a global expansion, with sights set on the United States, continental Europe, and Japan. 

Chairman Ajit Isaac outlined the company’s ambitions to go international while doubling down on its core strengths in workforce management and infrastructure services.

“We want to become a global company,” Isaac said in a recent interview. “In India, we are structurally important because we provide employment and are involved in some of the country’s key sectors.”

Diversified business, global ambitions

Founded as a recruitment firm, Quess has grown into a diversified business spanning workforce management, recruitment process outsourcing, industrial asset maintenance, telecom tower upkeep, facilities management, security services, and even food and beverage operations.

The company currently operates in India, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North America. It posted a 9% year-on-year increase in revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, reaching INR 51.79 billion (US$616 million).   

Powered by people and partners

Isaac credits the company’s steady growth to its “people, products, and partners”—particularly Canadian investment firm Fairfax, which has a major stake in Quess. 

“When people work with you for long, you develop a rhythm in management, which is crucial to becoming successful,” he noted.

He also acknowledged India’s macroeconomic tailwinds as a factor in the firm’s success. “We are a product of our times,” said Isaac. “Except for the lull in 2007–08 and the policy paralysis between 2012 and 2013, we’ve had the wind in our sails for most of the past two decades.”

Asset-light manufacturing on the radar

Beyond its core operations, Quess is cautiously eyeing contract manufacturing as a potential growth area, but only if it aligns with the company’s asset-light strategy. 

“Unless we strike a model where we’re able to generate manufacturing services without owning assets, we don’t want to be in it,” Isaac emphasized.

Early this year, Quess received legal approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Bengaluru to demerge into three publicly listed entities, including Digitide Solutions and Bluspring Enterprises, with respective new leadership.
