Seven months after technology major HCLTech set up its delivery centre in Kerala at Kochi, the company opened its second unit in the State in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday. The newly opened delivery centre, located on the Technopark campus, will focus on projects in Artificial Intelligence (AI), GenAI, cloud and other emerging technologies.
The first delivery centre which was opened on the Infopark campus in Kochi in October 2024 has been focussing on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technologies to provide solutions in sectors such as medical, automobile and semiconductors. Industries Minister P. Rajeeve, in a social media post, expressed confidence that the State’s collaboration with HCLTech, which is involved in crucial areas of advanced technology, will help create more job opportunities for youth.
‘Utilising State’s potential’
“While inaugurating the first unit of HCLTech last year in Kochi, I had said that the company will be able to further utilise the potential of Kerala. The day after the unit was launched at Infopark, we received a message from the company’s Corporate Vice President and Head of Engineering (R&D) Hari Sadarahalli. He said the company wanted to start another unit in Kerala very soon. Now, seven months later, the company has opened its second unit in the State. HCLTech is becoming a new example that reinforces our confidence that those setting up their business in Kerala will soon expand or open new units,” said Mr. Rajeeve.
He expressed confidence that Mr. Sadarahalli’s words that the company’s attention was drawn to Kerala by the excellent human resources and infrastructure will bring more companies to Kerala. Seeram Sambasiva Rao, Special Secretary, Electronics & IT and Executive Director of the Information Kerala Mission (IKM), Fabrizio Salvatore, Head of Infrastructure Services and Information Security, EMT Member, Allianz Technology, Jayant Tulsiani, Branch Head, Allianz Technology India and Sudip Lahiri, Executive Vice President and Head of Financial Services, Europe and UKI, HCLTech, were present at the opening of the Thiruvananthapuram centre.
