Quess Becomes the 1st Indian Co. to Join Global HR Industry Body, Joins World Employment Confederation

Quess Joins World Employment Confederation as Regional Corporate Member

Quess Corp Ltd., India’s largest staffing and workforce solutions provider, has been inducted as a Regional Corporate Member of the World Employment Confederation (WEC), effective April 1, 2025. With this, Quess becomes the first Indian and South Asian staffing company to join WEC as a corporate member, a milestone that underscores India’s growing importance in the global workforce landscape.

“The World Employment Confederation represents the gold standard in global employment practices, policy frameworks, and sustainable workforce development. As the first Indian company to join WEC as a Regional Corporate Member, Quess is proud to contribute to advancing ethical labour practices, skilling, and formal employment, both in India and globally,” said Lohit Bhatia, President, Workforce Management, Quess Corp.

This announcement was made following WEC’s General Assembly on April 7, 2025, which also saw the election of new Board members and the appointment of a new Vice-President. The developments mark a continued evolution in WEC’s efforts to expand its reach across high-growth regions and further its role as the global voice of the private employment services industry.

Commenting on the development, Bettina Schaller, President of the World Employment Confederation, said, “I am delighted and honoured to welcome QUESS as our first Regional Corporate Member in the Asia-Pacific region. I had the pleasure of spending three weeks in India at the beginning of this year and witnessed firsthand what a workforce solutions powerhouse QUESS is! The company’s values and ambitions are perfectly aligned with the World Employment Confederation’s mission to showcase the economic and social role played by a well-regulated industry in enabling work, adaptation, security and prosperity in our societies. I am enthusiastic about our collaboration and confident that QUESS' contributions will extend far beyond India, benefiting workers, businesses, and governments across the APAC region and globally."

Quess brings deep on-ground impact to the WEC network, adding nearly 400,000 individuals to formal employment each year, half of whom are first-time entrants into the formal workforce. Ranked among the top five staffing companies globally by volume and 37th by value, Quess has emerged as a key driver of workforce formalization, wage equity, skilling, and social security in India.

The company’s WEC membership follows its recent signatory status with the Global Coalition for Social Justice, reinforcing its commitment to ethical recruitment, inclusive growth, and international collaboration. Through WEC, Quess will contribute to advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on decent work, economic opportunity, and youth empowerment.

India is currently the world’s third-largest staffing market by scale and one of the fastest-growing. With over 6 million workers in formal staffing and industry revenues exceeding USD 18 billion, the sector plays a vital role in driving tax compliance, labour protections, and economic development. Quess’s inclusion into WEC creates new opportunities for cross-border learning and policy engagement, while also amplifying India’s voice in shaping the future of work.

Quess Corp Limited, India’s largest business services company has received the approval of the Composite Scheme of Arrangement for the demerger from the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Bangalore Bench, on the 4th of March leading to the creation of three public listed entities.

The company had announced the decision to demerge its diversified businesses into three different entities about a year ago in February 2024. With this approval, the demerger plan is taking place as per schedule and the company has been meticulously preparing for this event.

Following this, Quess Corp (Remaining Company) will continue to house India’s largest workforce management company with a headcount of over 5 lakh and a footprint across 9 countries.

Digitide Solutions (Resulting company -1), will offer a comprehensive suite of solutions including BPM Services, Insurtech and HRO. With operations across 30 countries and delivery centres in Manila and India, it is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging BPM opportunities across diverse sectors. Digitide will leverage AI-driven technology to enable businesses in transforming data into enterprise power, provide real-time insights, automation, and scalability.

Bluspring Enterprises (Resulting company -2), will be an infra services company operating primarily in the areas of Facility Management, Food Services, Security Services, Industrial and Telecom Infrastructure Maintenance. Additionally, foundit - an AI driven white-collar job portal and candidate services platform, will be part of Bluspring Enterprises.

All three entities will have a greater strategic focus, with the ability to drive growth and enhance overall performance in the coming years. Upon demerger, all Quess Corp shareholders on the record date will receive one equity share in each of Resulting Company 1 and Resulting Company 2 for every equity share held in Quess Corp.

Commenting on the approval, Mr. Ajit Isaac, Chairman of Quess Corp Ltd., said:

The approval from the Hon’ble NCLT, Bengaluru Bench marks a major milestone in our journey to create three focused and independent listed entities. This move will improve operational efficiency, unlock shareholder value, and allow each entity to pursue its distinct growth strategy in an evolving business landscape.

The next steps include determining the Record date and completion of share allotment to eligible shareholders, the listing of Digitide Solutions Ltd. and Bluspring Enterprises Ltd. on the stock exchanges, establishment of independent governance structures and leadership teams for each entity.
