Hidden Brains, a leading software development company, has been recognized with the prestigious Stevie Award for 'Company of the Year – Computer Services' as it celebrates its 22nd anniversary, capping a transformative 2025 defined by global expansion and a strategic focus on human-centered innovation. The award validates the company's approach of building enterprise-driven solutions like datumsAI and ROCKEYE ERP that solve real-world problems rather than merely checking technical boxes.
Chirag Patel of Hidden Brains stated that winning the award was validation not just of the company's technology, but of its people and their willingness to pivot when necessary. The company differentiated itself in 2025 by introducing new services designed to solve tangible human problems, operating on the principle that technology should reduce complexity, not create it. This philosophy was applied across diverse projects, from healthcare transformations to legacy system modernizations for clients worldwide.
The year marked a decisive strategic shift for the company. Parmesh Shah, CSO at Hidden Brains, noted that clients are no longer seeking incremental improvements but are driven to build transformative solutions of all scales. He emphasized that the current market demands bold innovation, a sentiment that guided the company's new playbooks and embrace of new-age technology to unlock growth.
Hidden Brains' global footprint expanded significantly in 2025, now spanning over 107 countries with offices in Dubai, Kenya, the UAE, and the USA. The company's journey included showcasing innovation at major international events like GITEX in Dubai and connecting with disruptive ecosystems at Slush Helsinki. Strategic market initiatives were key, including a partnership with Innovior Africa in Kenya to address needs in the Oil & Gas and Transportation sectors, and driving innovation in Indonesia through events for ROCKEYE and datumsAI in collaboration with CODE.ID.
Jigar Joshi, VP at Hidden Brains, observed that whether in Dubai, Helsinki, Kenya, or Indonesia, the company encountered a consistent and contagious hunger for innovation among clients and partners. This global engagement reinforced the company's direction and kept its team sharp and responsive to market demands.
In an industry increasingly dominated by discussions of artificial intelligence, Hidden Brains doubled down on human potential in 2025. The company positioned its team—combining technical skill with empathy and creative problem-solving—as its core competitive advantage, asserting that such human qualities cannot be replicated by algorithms. Shah noted that client consultations throughout the year revealed a vibrant demand for innovation, which in turn inspired continuous learning within the Hidden Brains organization.
As Hidden Brains enters its 23rd year, the company remains committed to a vision prioritizing human connection, meaningful innovation, and genuine partnership over transactional relationships. It has prioritized growing its human talent and maintaining a thriving work culture, based on the belief that humans are essential for the critical thinking and creative problem-solving that drive genuine innovation. Looking ahead to 2026, Shah expressed excitement about exploring new paths to growth and delivering cutting-edge solutions that empathize with enterprise needs, forecasting a year of bold advancements driven by client collaboration.
