CEO Arun ‘Rak’ Ramchandran on QBurst’s Global Evolution
January 23, 2026
In a wide-ranging interview with Pulse 2.0, QBurst CEO Arun ‘Rak’ Ramchandran details the strategic reorganization and roadmap for the company’s next phase of growth.
Key highlights from the interview:
- Institutional Validation: QBurst has entered an aggressive growth phase, transitioning from a referral-led boutique into a 3,500+ strong global enterprise powerhouse backed by Multiples Private Equity.
- High AI-Q™: The company is shifting its identity to High AI-Q, a model where AI co-pilots augment every phase of the software lifecycle—from requirement gathering to deployment—ensuring speed and precision. The pivot is part of the company’s 20-year culture of spotting technological shifts early.
- The 5*5*5 Growth Engine: To scale 3x within four years, QBurst is moving away from a generalist model toward a focused, localized strategy across five core geographies, verticals, and solution sets.
- The Five Pillars of Value: The company’s delivery model creates value through five strategic pillars: Intelligent Enterprise, Modernization, Managed Agents, Product Engineering, and Digital Experience.
- Accelerator-Led Approach: A key differentiator is the ability to stitch these capabilities into end-to-end solutions. Instead of standalone products, QBurst focuses on “developing accelerators” that speed up deployment across different tech domains.
- Transforming Go-to-Market: Acknowledging a historical reliance on referrals, the company is actively correcting its under-investment in front-end go-to-market. This includes installing local leadership in the U.S., Japan, and the Middle East to be closer to enterprise buyers.
- Evolving Commercial Models: To align with modern buying behaviors, QBurst is shifting toward outcome-based pricing and AI-in-the-loop delivery, moving beyond traditional service models.
