Focus of the Hyderabad Centre

The company said the centre will work on digital platforms and artificial intelligence systems used across its global operations. These include data management, artificial intelligence, generative AI and agent-based systems supporting business functions. 

Davos Discussions Led to Agreement

It will work alongside existing technology and AI centres in France, the United States, China, Singapore, Spain, Poland, Canada, Brazil and Mexico. The Hyderabad teams will support global operations by building and maintaining digital tools.
