QBurst Recognized in HFS Research Challenger Series

January 9, 2026

QBurst has been recognized as a Challenger in the HFS Research Challenger Series for AI-Led Digital Engineering.

The Challenger Series highlights services firms that demonstrate credible delivery capabilities and emerging differentiation within specific segments of the digital and AI services market.

In its assessment, HFS Research highlighted QBurst’s strong engineering heritage, disciplined delivery model, and AI-first operating approach as key differentiators in an increasingly crowded mid-tier services landscape. “QBurst represents a maturing challenger that balances strong engineering DNA with credible AI ambition,” noted HFS in its report, pointing to the firm’s low attrition rates, vertical depth, and focus on long-term client relationships.

HFS Research also highlighted QBurst’s solution-led engagement model, supported by more than 15 prebuilt accelerators across domains such as composable commerce, intelligent pricing, replenishment, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. These accelerators are designed to help enterprises move beyond experimentation toward real-world AI outcomes.

Stability as a Strategic Advantage

With headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram, India, QBurst operates delivery centers across Tier-2 Indian cities. HFS identified this delivery model as a key contributor to the firm’s delivery stability and workforce continuity, noting attrition rates under 8%, a differentiator in a market challenged by delivery inconsistency and talent churn.

With a global footprint spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, QBurst serves clients in over 30 countries, scaling largely through referrals and long-standing engineering-led partnerships.

Building Toward the Future of AI-Governed Services

HFS Research also acknowledged QBurst’s early investments in Managed Agents™, its emerging orchestration and governance platform for AI agents. While still in early stages, HFS noted that the concept positions QBurst in important conversations around AI governance, automation, and future service delivery models.

HFS Perspective

The report characterized QBurst as “one of the most quietly capable firms in the mid-tier landscape,” citing its engineering depth, operational discipline, and steady leadership. 

“QBurst is building the bridge between dependable engineering and intelligent automation,” the report stated, describing the firm as a credible, high-quality alternative for enterprises seeking stability, agility, and responsible AI adoption.
