HCLTech opens new global delivery center in Rabat, Morocco

HCLTech, an Indian technology company, has made a significant stride in its nearshore strategy by announcing the inauguration of its Global Delivery Center (GDC) in Rabat, Morocco.

This marks the company’s first facility in Morocco, aimed at catering to the needs of global enterprises seeking digital, engineering, cloud, AI, and software transformation projects. With over 23,000 employees already working on thrilling digital transformation initiatives for some of the world’s major corporations, this new launch further bolsters HCLTech’s global network of nearshore locations.

The establishment of this GDC comes after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between HCLTech and the Government of Morocco in 2022, showcasing the company’s commitment to investing in the country’s burgeoning technology sector. Given Morocco’s skilled talent pool and strategic geographic location, it emerges as an ideal nearshore destination for HCLTech.
