“We are proud to open our first non-U.S. regional headquarters office in Chennai. India is a key strategic market for Pinnacle Group and many of our customers,” said Pinnacle Group Chairman and CEO, Nina Vaca. “We see tremendous potential here and we’re committed to extending our investments in people and technology to drive further innovation and serve more of our customers in India and beyond."

U.S. Consul General Chris Hodges was in attendance at the ribbon cutting ceremony and said, “Businesses like Pinnacle are part of the core model for U.S. economic success – creative, innovative, inclusive and on the move.  That’s why it makes sense that they are locating here in Chennai, a home for top-class talent and a supportive business environment.  It’s partnerships like these that are taking the U.S. and India forward.”

His sentiments were echoed by Mr. Vishnu Venugopalan, Managing Director and CEO of Guidance Tamil Nadu, “We are proud to welcome Pinnacle Group to Tamil Nadu and look forward to seeing the growth they can achieve by building a strong local foundation from their APAC regional headquarters here in Chennai.”

Currently, Pinnacle Group’s customers are primarily U.S.-based corporations with extensive multinational operations. Building a strong presence in the APAC region will continue to provide support to the global customer base while also driving additional growth with local customers. Employing thousands of associates globally, Pinnacle Group has an India workforce of around 100 workers today that is expected to increase rapidly within the next 18-24 months.
