Hinduja Global Solutions Limited presented its strategic direction at its 31st Annual General Meeting on September 25, 2026. The company highlighted a pivot toward AI-enabled solutions and announced significant progress in its media and broadband verticals.
The presentation emphasized a "New Era of Business" where customer experience is the primary differentiator. HGS outlined three connected capabilities: Intelligent Interactions, Intelligent Operations, and Intelligent Platforms. These pillars aim to combine industry expertise with data, technology, and human judgment to help clients build loyalty and competitive advantage.
Client wins and operational metrics
The company reported that FY26 was its best year for new client acquisitions, securing 79 new logos. Client Net Promoter Score (NPS) reached 60, placing HGS in the top quartile of the market. The presentation detailed several case studies demonstrating measurable value:
| Sector | Client Example | Key Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing | Beauty Products Innovator | Identifies market shifts 4-8 weeks ahead; automates 60-70% of research effort |
| Sales | Medical Device Manufacturer | 50% more patient engagement; 35-45% increased potential sales |
| Service | Local Government Authorities | Reduced checklist preparation from 4+ hours to 30 min; ≈0% rework rate |
| Operations | Leading CPG Food Company | $1M+ in potential savings; 85% reduction in manual intervention |
| Compliance | Mid-size US Bank | 100x increase in analyst productivity; 60% false positive reduction |
NXTDIGITAL Media Group performance
Vynsley Fernandes, Whole-time Director and CEO of NXTDIGITAL Media Businesses, presented updates on the media segment. The group continues to connect over 4 million homes through digital cable, HITS satellite services, and wired broadband. The network spans 4,500+ pin codes across 1,500 cities and towns, with broadband presence in 350+ cities.
The enterprise business, CelerityX, delivered 5,000+ links in FY26, leveraging a franchisee base of over 15,000 partners. The OneOTT broadband vertical was awarded "Best Future Ready Network of the Year 2025-26" at the BCS Ratna Awards.
Project GANGA initiative
A major focus of the presentation was Project GANGA (Government Assisted Network for Growth & Advancement), a collaboration with the State Transformation Commission of Uttar Pradesh. Launched in June 2026, the initiative aims to create locally operated micro-broadband entrepreneurs known as Digital Service Providers (DSPs).
Key milestones and targets include:
- 3,000+ applications received on the portal.
- 600+ applicants trained in business and technical aspects.
- First 10 DSP networks ready for rollout.
- Target of 10,000+ local entrepreneurs generating ~50,000 direct jobs.
- Potential creation of 1,00,000+ sustainable jobs in the affiliated ecosystem.
- Goal to connect 20 lakh+ households across Uttar Pradesh.
What the numbers show
The divergence between the high volume of new client wins (79 logos) and the specific efficiency gains cited in case studies suggests a dual-track growth strategy. While the enterprise arm drives revenue through volume and new logos, the operational impact is being measured by drastic reductions in manual intervention (up to 85%) and time-to-value (reducing processes from hours to minutes). This indicates that HGS is monetizing AI not just as a service offering, but as a margin-expansion tool within existing workflows.
Road ahead for FY27
For FY27, HGS plans to focus on:
- Project GANGA: Operationalizing DSP networks and accelerating the entrepreneur-to-DSP pipeline.
- Broadband: Expanding retail presence into Tier II and Tier III markets.
- CelerityX Enterprise: Building trust with corporate customers and expanding into new verticals.
- Digital Television: Focusing on customer retention in high ARPU markets through cost discipline.
