Dallas-based global workforce solutions company Pinnacle Group has launched its first non-U.S. headquarters in Chennai, India.
The company said its new APAC Regional Headquarters marks a significant step in its global strategy, aimed at better serving an increasingly international clientele comprising over 20% of the Fortune 100.
“We’re 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,” Pinnacle Group Chairman and CEO Nina Vaca said in a statement. “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.”
Pinnacle Group, along with its IT staffing/professional services brand, PTR Global, is the largest Latina-owned workforce solutions provider in the U.S. and the largest diverse-owned, VMS-agnostic MSP worldwide.
It said that over the past five years, the company has been expanding globally to support customers in over 20 countries.

Strengthening an international customer base
Pinnacle said that placing its first non-U.S. headquarters in Chennai “strategically positions the company to deepen relationships with its existing customer base in the region.” The new office aims to provide increased support for Pinnacle Group’s global operations while also driving growth within India and the larger APAC region, including attracting new customers.
“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,” U.S. Consul General Chris Hodges, who attended the recent ribbon cutting at the Chennai office, said in a statement.

His sentiments were echoed by Mr. Vishnu Venugopalan, Managing Director and CEO of Guidance Tamil Nadu, “We’re 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.”
Pinnacle Group’s customers are mostly U.S.-based corporations with extensive multinational operations.
The company said that building a strong presence in the APAC region will continue to provide support to the global customer base while also driving growth with local customers. Pinnacle Group has an India workforce of roughly 100 workers today that is expected to increase rapidly within the next 18-24 months. Pinnacle employs thousands of associates globally.
