Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. announced that it has been named a Preferred Vendor by a leading hyperscaler, a designation that expands the company’s joint solution development, co‑selling, and go‑to‑market opportunities. The announcement was made on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
The preferred‑vendor status follows a two‑year consolidation effort by the hyperscaler that narrowed its service‑provider ecosystem to a select group. By becoming part of that elite circle, Grid Dynamics gains deeper integration with the hyperscaler’s cloud platform, access to joint marketing programs, and the ability to co‑sell AI‑enabled solutions to the hyperscaler’s enterprise customers.
The partnership comes at a time when Grid Dynamics is accelerating its AI‑first transformation. The company reported 30 % year‑over‑year growth in AI revenue in 2025, driven by demand for foundation‑model integration, AI platforms, and agentic solutions. CEO Leonard Livschitz said, “In 2025, our AI business grew by 30 % year‑over‑year, largely driven by our specialization in search, AI platforms and Agentic solutions.”
Financially, the company’s gross‑profit margin has been improving, with a GAAP gross profit margin of 36.8 % in Q1 2025 versus 34.7 % in Q1 2024. However, Q2 2025 saw a contraction to 34.7 % from 36.2 % in Q2 2024, largely due to increased costs for engineering and research and investments in scaling AI delivery. The preferred‑vendor status is expected to help offset these headwinds by generating higher‑margin contracts and improving operational leverage.
The partnership positions Grid Dynamics to capture higher‑margin, long‑term contracts in the growing AI services market and reinforces its competitive advantage over traditional consulting peers. By leveraging the hyperscaler’s global reach and customer base, Grid Dynamics can accelerate the delivery of production‑grade AI systems, integrate foundation models into enterprise workflows, and provide governance, observability, and cost control for large‑scale AI deployments.
Overall, the preferred‑vendor designation signals strong confidence from the hyperscaler in Grid Dynamics’ capabilities and is likely to accelerate the company’s AI service expansion, strengthen its market position, and enhance its ability to win larger, more profitable engagements.
