Additionally, Hubilo plans to open new sales offices in key regions to expand operations and reach a larger customer base. To support Hubilo’s rapid growth plans and to meet the increased demand for virtual events by its clients, the company will increase its overall employee count by 150 percent.
As part of this expansion, Hubilo is setting up a full-fledged Research and Development division that will conduct a series of experiments to ensure that its platform is future-proofed, Jain told PTI.
