About the Award-Winning Nomination

Founded in 2001, Akraya is a leading IT consulting and staffing solutions provider, with specialized capabilities in Managed Services for User Experience & Insights (UXI) and Supply Chain Management (SCM).

In 2024, Akraya maintained steady U.S. revenues of approximately $57 million, while strategically expanding its U.S. workforce by 23.61% to reach 356 employees. The company also reported a 51% year-over-year growth in its Statement of Work (SOW) business and a 6.6% year-over-year increase in Profit Before Tax, reflecting a strong foundation for continued expansion.

Akraya’s commitment to employee engagement and workplace excellence has earned consistent industry recognition, including:

• Inc.’s Best Workplaces 2024
• SIA’s Best Staffing Firms to Work For 2025

Why Akraya Stands Out

• Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) > 8.5 – Significantly above the industry average, reflecting high levels of employee satisfaction and engagement
