Earns top scores in AIM’s employee-led assessment of the forward-deployed engineering experience

Hexaware Technologies [NSE: HEXT], an AI-first digital and IT services company, has been certified by Analytics India Magazine (AIM) as a Best Firm for Forward-Deployed Engineering (FDE) talent to work for. The certification follows feedback from 129 Hexaware AI architects drawn from talent developed through the company’s AI Academy and Architecture Fellowship program.

AIM’s assessment uses an anonymous employee survey covering 33 statements, rated on a five-point scale and normalized to a 10-point score. It measures five areas: customer and solution alignment; FDE delivery excellence and ownership; growth and learning; inclusion and belonging; and psychological safety. Hexaware recorded an overall score of 8.42/10.

Among its strongest individual measures were outcome-based success measurement at 8.80, production readiness at 8.74, and responsible AI voice and failure recovery at 8.69 each.

“Forward-deployed engineering is where technology meets the reality of a customer’s business,” said Vinod Chandran, Chief Operating Officer, Hexaware. “Our goal is to give these teams the context, autonomy and support to solve the right problem, get solutions into production and stay accountable for the outcome. This certification is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the people doing that work.”

Tony Mohanty, Executive Vice President & Global Head – Talent Management, Hexaware, said, “Strong FDE talent cannot be built through a one-time training program. It takes deep technical learning, exposure to real problems, mentoring and repeated opportunities to apply what people learn. Our AI Academy and Architecture Fellowship are built around that idea, and this feedback gives us a valuable measure of how that investment is translating into the employee experience.”

The certification gives Hexaware an external benchmark for the environment it is creating for AI architects working in customer-facing, production-oriented roles.
