UK-based IT firm RedoQ shifts its HQs to Kolkata

Kolkata, Jan 16 (UNI) RedoQ Group, a global leader in IT services and diversified industries, on Thursday unveiled their largest powerhouse in Sector V (Salt Lake) in the presence of West Bengal Minister in-Charge, IT Electronics Department and British Deputy High Commissioner to East and Northeast Dr. Andrew Fleming.
“The decision to establish a powerhouse in Kolkata is not just a business move - it's a homecoming with a purpose that aligns with our vision of building an IT Hub and laying the foundation for Kolkata's own Silicon Valley - one that will be second to none right here in Kolkata," RedoQ Group CEO Dipal Dutta announced at a media
conference.
"We will continue to retain our base in the UK while expanding our operations team from Kolkata, thereby continuing to tap into the potential and synergies of both countries," he added.
In July 2024, RedoQ decided to establish its powerhouse outside of the UK in Kolkata in a move that underscores the company’s commitment to expanding its presence in the Indian subcontinent.
Over the past year, RedoQ has already invested more than Rs 200 million in the region, with plans to raise this figure to Rs 500 million in 2025, and to Rs 1000 milliion in 2026, Dutta announced.
RedoQ currently employs 200 professionals in Kolkata, with plans to scale its workforce to 500 by the end of 2025. The company also aims to employ 1,000 individuals by 2026, reinforcing its commitment to creating high-quality sustainable jobs, he added.
Minister of Information Technology and Electronics Babul Suproyo said, “ Kolkata is emerging as the next IT hub in India, and I am grateful to see companies choosing this city to expand, creating employment opportunities. While the roots of any organization remain where they began, growth leads to greater integration with the city it operates. I extend my best wishes for your future endeavors and
assure you that the Ministry of Information Technology is always here to support you.”
Dr. Andrew Fleming, British Deputy High Commissioner to East and Northeast India said: “A growing number of British-based tech companies and services are recognising the pipeline of talent and opting to establish operations in Kolkata.
" RedoQ was part of our first-ever tech mission to this city in November 2024. I am delighted we have been able to support their ambitions in the state” added Dr. Fleming.
