Cognizant has expanded its presence in India by opening its first centre in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, a move set to create over 1,500 jobs with potential growth to 20,000 in the future.
The new facility, spanning 46,000 square feet, was inaugurated by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, who emphasised the importance of intellectual property in the 21st century. “The 21st century is the century of intellectual property, which will make its mark in the world on the basis of information technology and artificial intelligence (AI),” Yadav stated during the ceremony.
Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant, posted his excitement about the new launch on LinkedIn. “This is the 2nd one after our announcement early this year of a new center in Bhubaneswar. We love the enthusiasm amongst our Cognizant associates about this strategy of expansion into smaller cities in India. We are the largest IT employer in Coimbatore and our aspirations are to be the largest in Indore and Bhubaneswar.”
Surya Gummadi, EVP of Cognizant and President of Cognizant Americas, highlighted the strategic importance of the Indore center, saying, “Indore will seamlessly integrate into our existing delivery network across India, focus on innovative solutions for our global clients, create new opportunities for local talent, and bring our offices closer to where our associates live.”
Located at Brilliant Titanium in the heart of Indore, the centre has a seating capacity for 500 and can accommodate up to 1,250 associates in a hybrid work model. Cognizant’s expansion in Indore adds to its existing presence in cities like Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, and others across India.
Madhya Pradesh has secured investment proposals worth INR 3,200 crore from Google, NVIDIA, and Microsoft, in a single day during an interactive session held in Bengaluru on August 7-8, 2024.
