Innovecture and Nexio scale up: Pune GEC leads the charge

Innovecture and Nexio Deepen Strategic Technology Alliance via Global Engineering Center (GEC) in Pune. Pune: U.S.-based engineering and technology services provider Innovecture and payments technology firm Nexio have unveiled the latest chapter in their strategic collaboration, centered on Innovecture’s Global Engineering Center (GEC) in Pune, India. The partnership, which originated as a technology engagement in 2024, has matured into a comprehensive, integrated engineering alliance designed to bolster Nexio’s worldwide technology objectives.

Leveraging Innovecture’s proven track record in building and managing global engineering frameworks, Nexio is growing its technology footprint in India via the Innovecture GEC. This move is aimed at fast-tracking innovation, tapping into niche engineering expertise, and providing the agility needed to scale its technical operations. Currently, the Pune-based team assists Nexio with a range of functions, including digital transformation, AI and data initiatives, application modernization, quality engineering, IT operations, and application support. This growth underscores the ongoing evolution of Nexio’s product and technology strategy.

By utilizing the GEC, Nexio gains access to Innovecture’s technical proficiency, skilled talent pool, delivery methodologies, and established operational infrastructure, allowing the company to expand its engineering capacity in line with global goals. The deepened partnership also includes a visit from Nexio’s leadership team to India. Justin Brown, COO, and Wei Liu, Vice President of Engineering, are currently in the country to foster strategic ties and connect directly with the Pune engineering staff. This visit serves to solidify the synergy between teams across different regions, emphasizing a mutual commitment to innovation, execution, and Nexio’s overarching technology agenda.

Innovecture’s Pune GEC Boosts Nexio’s Worldwide Engineering Capacity

The Pune GEC functions as an extension of Nexio’s internal technology department, bridging the gap between engineering teams in the U.S. and India to align on shared product goals, technical priorities, and innovation projects. The facility integrates a wide array of capabilities—including software engineering, data, AI, automation, quality engineering, application modernization, and IT operations—providing a scalable base for Nexio to push its technology roadmap forward while integrating AI and automation into its engineering workflows. This collaborative model merges Nexio’s domain and product knowledge with Innovecture’s talent and delivery ecosystem, allowing both firms to operate as a unified engineering unit while staying synchronized with Nexio’s global strategy.

Transitioning from Technology Engagement to Strategic Engineering Alliance

The establishment of the Pune GEC marks the latest milestone in the multi-year partnership between Innovecture and Nexio. Over recent years, the two companies have cultivated a relationship rooted in trust, collaboration, shared accountability, and engineering excellence. This expanded framework builds upon that history, creating a more robust engineering capability intended to fuel Nexio’s long-term growth and digital transformation. The GEC offers Nexio a platform to consistently scale its expertise in payments technology, software engineering, AI, data, quality engineering, and modernization, while enabling Innovecture to play a more significant role in Nexio’s global product and technology evolution.

Girish Rao, CEO–India, Innovecture, stated: "Our vision for the Nexio–Innovecture relationship goes well beyond building engineering capacity in India. We are creating a connected global engineering capability where talent, technology, domain expertise and innovation come together to deliver meaningful business value for Nexio. Over the past two years, we have built a strong foundation. The Pune GEC represents the next evolution of that relationship, bringing together Nexio’s product and technology vision with Innovecture’s engineering expertise, talent ecosystem and delivery capabilities. We believe a successful Global Engineering Center should become much more than a delivery location. It should become an integral part of the client’s technology organization, aligned to its products, culture, priorities and ambitions. That is the model we are building with Nexio, and we are excited to make Pune an important part of Nexio’s global engineering and innovation journey."

Justin Brown, COO, Nexio, commented: "Our relationship with Innovecture is very important to Nexio’s plans for growth and long-term success. We have built a multi-year partnership that continues to strengthen and evolve, and we are particularly excited about the quality of talent and capabilities Innovecture brings to our technology organisation. We look forward to building on this relationship and creating new opportunities for growth together."

Wei Liu, Vice President of Engineering, Nexio, noted: "In an age of rapid AI acceleration, there are new opportunities, uncertainties and challenges, and Innovecture is able to work closely with us to quickly address those challenges, capture emerging opportunities and continue delivering software value at Nexio. Their capabilities also allow us to expand our use of AI beyond software development and into broader areas of our technology operations."
