Avalara plans to onboard 1,000 new employees

Avalara, a cloud-based tax compliance solutions provider, plans to onboard about 1,000 new employees in the next nine months across engineering, tax, content, sales support and professional services functions.

The move is part of its efforts to establish India as a centre of technical excellence and its planned expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, according to a company statement.

“Despite India’s competitive employment market, the US-based solutions provider remains committed to enhancing capabilities in tax technology, legislation, e-invoicing, and global tax compliance by investing significantly in the country's technological talent,” the company said.


The new hires will join Avalara’s team of around 1800 professionals at the Pune and Noida offices who work together to develop cloud software solutions that simplify global tax compliance.

“As we plan our expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, we are committed to significantly increasing our hiring efforts to support our company’s growth initiatives. India has long been a vital part of Avalara’s operations, offering a wealth of technical skills, functional expertise, and an innovative thinking mindset,” said Krishna Priya Nambudiri, senior director - HR, Avalara India.

Avalara India’s expansion is driven by accelerating demand for tax compliance solutions, increasing complexity of tax regulations and the need for businesses to adapt to evolving market conditions, the company said.

Avalara is a provider of automated software solutions for tax compliance. The platform delivers cloud-based compliance solutions for various transaction taxes, including sales and use, value-added tax, goods and services tax, excise, communications, lodging, customs duties and other indirect tax types, in partnership with enterprise resource planning, accounting, e-commerce and other financial management system providers, according to the company.
