CEO and Managing Director Amit Chadha said AI was helping the company expand its work with customers. He also indicated that AI-led delivery models could reduce the number of employees required for some projects, although hiring would continue.

Data Centres Create New Business Opportunities

LTTS is developing services for data-centre infrastructure, including infrastructure validation, network build-outs and cooling technologies. The company is also working on services related to orchestration, token metering, observability and AI agents.

Data centres form part of LTTS’s six strategic growth areas, which currently contribute around 50% of its revenue. The company expects their combined contribution to exceed 80% over the next five years.

LTTS has also launched an Engineering Intelligence Lab with NVIDIA to develop AI-based applications for manufacturing, robotics and supply chains.

Workforce and Hiring Outlook

At the end of September 2026, LTTS had 24,035 employees, compared with 23,845 at the end of the previous quarter. The company expects to add more employees in the coming quarter as business activity expands.

The workforce update reflects two parallel developments: increased investment in AI skills for existing employees and continued recruitment to support new projects. For HR leaders, the company’s approach illustrates how engineering services firms are combining reskilling with selective hiring as AI changes project delivery requirements.

Final Comments

LTTS’s latest results show that AI is influencing both its business growth and workforce planning. While the company is training a large share of its employees in AI, management expects hiring to continue.

The key HR question will be how effectively the company aligns employee skills and recruitment with changing demand for AI-enabled engineering and data-centre services.
