since 2014
Why we’re here
Our founder Emilien Coquard came to India in 2011, where he was managing a development centre of a French company. On the one hand, he was impressed to see the level of talent people had, and on the other he was frustrated to see how poor the environment was for Indian engineers working in services companies. So, he decided to create a company where the engineers would be in the centre of everything. That’s how The Scalers was born.
How The Scalers took off
Our journey is just getting started, but take a look at how it’s been so far.

After arriving in India in 2011, Emilien Coquard creates The Scalers in late 2014 out of a desire to bring transparency to a notoriously opaque industry. His ambition is to build the best company in the world, a place where world-class engineers can fully unleash their talent and people are at the heart of everything.

Emilien and future COO Deepak continue formulating the strategy. They pour hours and hours into building the business from the ground up. Unreliable electricity, plumbing troubles, relentless admin — these are the hard yards on the road to success! Even budding entrepreneurs need to get their hands dirty from time to time…
The House of Hack
The House of Hack
It’s February 2015 and The Scalers finds itself a new home. In an office without meeting rooms, innovative solutions are a necessity. New surroundings spawn fresh ideas and bonds are formed as the business grows and reaches adolescence.
Out of the teenage years…

2016 sees The Scalers get down to serious business. Making the leap from working with startups to enterprises, building a team of 100 developers for the governement of Ras al Khaimah — one of the seven Emirates in the UAE.

The extra mile

The Scalers keeps adding partners and expanding operations with new hires in Dublin and Krakow. Alongside this, Emilien and the leadership team future-proof the model and implement a policy of continual improvement to produce greater value for The Scalers’ partners.
The journey ahead

The Scalers continue to expand into new markets, open their first office in London, establish their presence in APAC, and scale up teams and office spaces of key partners.
My idea was simple: solve the talent shortage for pioneering European businesses by bridging the gap to the incredible talent in Bangalore. And it works.
Transparency
Everyone at The Scalers is encouraged to give feedback without fear of judgement. Open and honest dialogue is how we move forward as one unified team.
Empowerment
Everyone’s contribution is key and matters for our mission. We reward responsibility and empower progress as we journey together towards success.
Inclusivity
Everyone is a part of The Scalers family no matter where they’re from. Diversity is more than a slogan at The Scalers, it’s a commitment and what makes us, us.
Behind the scenes
We wouldn’t be able to talk the talk when it comes to your company culture if we didn’t walk the walk ourselves. We love what we do and believe that what makes us different makes us stronger — and our unique blend of backgrounds makes The Scalers a truly dynamic place to work.
We love how each new hire adds to our culture. And, we’re hiring.
