For Aeries Technology (NASDAQ: AERT), 2025 has been anything but quiet. The AI-powered business transformation and Global Capability Center (GCC) specialist has notched record results, launched major AI platforms, retooled its leadership, and doubled down on international expansion—all in the first eight months of the year.
Leadership Reset for an AI-Centric Strategy
In February, Aeries reshuffled its C-suite to sharpen execution around AI and private equity partnerships. Ajay Khare stepped in as CEO, while Daniel Webb took over as CFO. The move signaled a renewed focus on North American clients, AI-driven enterprise transformation, and financial discipline. By June, Eli Mendoza had joined as Chief Growth & Strategy Officer, tasked with expanding partnerships in the private equity ecosystem.
AI Platforms and Record-Breaking Results
The strategy shift seems to be paying off. For the quarter ending June 30, Aeries reported the strongest results in company history, with positive operating cash flow and a $17 million year-over-year net income improvement.
Key highlights included:
- Nasdaq compliance restored in July, resolving minimum bid price issues.
- Launch of the AI Partner Network, built to accelerate enterprise AI adoption for mid-market firms.
- Debut of AeriesOne, an integrated generative AI platform designed to help enterprises scale from pilots to production-grade deployments.
“Ahead of the year’s close, we’ve paired disciplined execution with a platform approach to AI inside GCCs,” said CEO Ajay Khare. “The result is measurable operating leverage for clients and a stronger, more predictable growth engine for Aeries.”
Expanding the GCC Model
Global Capability Centers remain Aeries’ bread and butter, and 2025 has brought several marquee wins. In June, the company transitioned a 300+ member GCC in India for a U.S. healthcare fintech and signed a Letter of Intent with Cority to launch AI-powered GCCs in India and Mexico, leveraging its build-operate-transfer (BOT) model.
The company is also scaling aggressively:
- 500+ new roles to be added across India and Mexico in AI, tech, finance, and operations.
- New offices in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune.
- Expanded nearshore delivery from Guadalajara, Mexico, complementing its India hubs.
What’s Next
Looking ahead, Aeries plans to:
- Extend AeriesOne use cases across industries.
- Add capabilities to the AI Partner Network.
- Expand nearshore operations to meet rising client demand.
With two consecutive Great Place to Work certifications and momentum across AI platforms, GCC expansion, and PE partnerships, Aeries is positioning itself as a critical partner for enterprises seeking scale without the growing pains.
The Takeaway
In a year where AI hype is everywhere, Aeries is trying to turn it into enterprise-grade execution—pairing generative AI platforms with scalable GCC delivery. For private equity-backed firms and mid-market enterprises under pressure to modernize fast, that combination may be exactly the operating leverage they’ve been looking for.
