Challenge

Overcoming the Talent Acquisition Barrier

As a rapidly growing company, Kensium’s success is built on the quality of its technical talent. However, they faced a critical roadblock in their primary Indian location, Hyderabad.

Talent Scarcity: The hyper-competitive Hyderabad market made it increasingly difficult and expensive to find and hire skilled professionals, especially in niche technologies like Magento.

Aversion to Traditional Outsourcing: Kensium did not want to simply "outsource" tasks to an agency. They needed a loyal team that would embody their culture, understand their long-term vision, and operate as a seamless extension of their existing workforce.

Need for Control and Integration: The goal was to build their own asset—a dedicated team that they could manage directly, ensuring quality, consistency, and deep integration with their global operations.

Building Kensium’s Ahmedabad Tech Hub

Instead of a temporary fix, Digiteon proposed a strategic, long-term solution: build a dedicated development team in Ahmedabad, a burgeoning tech hub with a deep pool of untapped talent.

Our model gave Kensium the best of both worlds: the cost-effectiveness of an offshore team with the control and cultural integration of an in-house unit.

How we made it happen:

Strategic Sourcing: We tapped into our extensive network in Ahmedabad to source candidates who weren't just technically proficient but also a strong cultural fit for Kensium.

Rigorous Vetting: : Our process included multi-level technical screenings, practical assignments, and soft-skill assessments, ensuring only the highest-caliber candidates were presented.

Client-Centric Hiring: Kensium retained full control, conducting the final interviews and making every hiring decision. The new hires were Kensium employees in every way that mattered.

Seamless Onboarding & Integration: Digiteon handled all HR, payroll, IT infrastructure, and administrative overhead, allowing the new team members to integrate with Kensium’s processes from day one.

A Journey of Growth and Trust

Our partnership with Kensium is a testament to trust and mutual growth.

2019 – The Foundation: The journey began with a focused mandate to hire two senior Magento developers. The immediate success, high-quality output, and seamless integration of these initial hires proved the model’s effectiveness and built a strong foundation of trust.
2020-2022 – Strategic Expansion: As Kensium’s confidence grew, so did their ambition. They expanded the team by adding developers in PHP and Java, diversifying the team’s capabilities to handle a wider range of projects.
2023-Present – A Diversified Hub: Today, the Ahmedabad office has blossomed into a vital innovation hub for Kensium. With 18+ professionals across Magento, Shopify, PHP, and Java, the team is no longer a satellite unit but a core pillar of Kensium’s global delivery strategy.
