History
Brillio originated in 2014 as a spin-off from the IT services division of Collabera, an IT staffing and recruitment company located in Morristown, New Jersey.
In October 2014, Brillio expanded by acquiring Marketelligent, an analytics firm established in 2008 and based in Bangalore. By April 2015, the company formalized its incorporation as Brillio Holdings, Inc. in Delaware and made a $3 million investment in Albeado, a software enterprise situated in Silicon Valley. CEO Raj Mamodia held a directorial role at Albeado and was involved in its initial funding round. Later that year, in October 2015, Brillio invested in Arundo Analytics, a Norwegian company specializing in predictive and analytical software solutions.
By 2016, CEO Mamodia reported that Brillio employed around 2,300 professionals distributed between the United States and India.
In March 2018, the company acquired Comity Designs, known for cloud and mobile services as well as being a consulting partner of Salesforce.com. Private equity firm Bain Capital took a majority ownership stake in Brillio in January 2019. During the same year, Brillio became part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner network and established a partnership with Ciena’s Blue Planet IT division. In December 2019, Brillio earned designation as a Microsoft Azure managed service provider (MSP).
The acquisition of Cognetik, headquartered in Cary, North Carolina with additional offices in Romania, occurred in July 2020. Further growth followed in 2021 through the acquisitions of Standav and Cedrus Digital.
In April 2023, Brillio collaborated with New Horizon College of Engineering to cultivate technology talent aligned with industry requirements. The subsequent month saw the purchase of CloudStratex, a cloud advisory firm based in the United Kingdom. The company’s corporate social responsibility program operates under the name Bringing Smiles. In September 2023, Brillio secured funding from the Orogen Group.
Brillio organizes the National STEM Challenge held in Pune, India—recognized as the nation’s sole national-level STEM competition engaging more than 2,500 students from both urban and rural schools to promote innovation and design thinking skills.
In January 2024, Brillio declared plans to significantly grow its Guadalajara center in Mexico by increasing its engineering and AI workforce five times by the end of the year.
Founder Raj Mamodia announced in April 2024 an investment commitment of ₹2,000 crore aimed at doubling both Brillio’s employee base and revenue within India over the next five years.
