Global tax compliance platform Avalara triples its India headcount; plans over 1000+ new hires in FY24

• This expansion aligns with the company’s long-term plans to make India an important center for its global operations by 2026

Avalara, a leading provider of cloud-based tax compliance solutions, has announced its plans to onboard over 1000 new employees in the next nine months across multiple fields, including engineering, tax, content, sales support and professional services. This strategic move is part of Avalara’s efforts to establish India as a center of technical excellence and its planned expansion in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Despite India’s competitive employment market, the US-based solutions provider remains committed to enhancing capabilities in tax technology, legislation, e-invoicing, and global tax compliance by investing significantly in the country’s technological talent. The new hires will join Avalara’s team of around 1800 professionals at the Pune and Noida offices who work together to develop cloud software solutions that simplify global tax compliance.

Krishna Priya Nambudiri, Senior Director – HR, Avalara India said, – “As we plan our expansion in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, we are committed to significantly increasing our hiring efforts to support our company’s growth initiatives. India has long been a vital part of Avalara’s operations, offering a wealth of technical skills, functional expertise, and an innovative thinking mindset. By bringing these diverse perspectives and skills to our India operations, we are enhancing our operational efficiency and laying the foundation for ensuring sustainable growth for the company.
