Infosys expands Indore facility with new 3.3-lakh sq ft software development block
The new 3,30,000-square-foot facility's inauguration saw the presence of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Infosys CFO Jayesh Sanghrajka, alongside other senior state officials and company executives.
Indian IT giant Infosys has announced the expansion of its Indore development center with a new 3.3-lakh sq ft software development block, aimed at tapping into the talent pool in central India. Currently, Infosys Indore employs over 3,300 professionals supporting clients in various sectors such as banking, financial services, retail, life sciences, and manufacturing.
The newly added block, named SDB-2, will further reinforce Infosys' presence in central India and its dedication to fostering the region's technology and talent ecosystem. The company expects the expanded center to bolster its capabilities in cloud, application development, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cybersecurity, allowing it to better meet evolving client needs.
The move comes as the industry navigates the AI-led disruption, prompting IT services firms to expand their delivery capacity to newer and emerging technology hubs in tier-2 and tier-3 Indian cities. These regions boast engineering colleges and access to a diverse talent pool beyond the usual centers - Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune.
Infosys' competitors, Cognizant and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), have also invested in Indore and other Indian cities. Cognizant has opened centers in Indore, Visakhapatnam, and GIFT city in Gujarat, while TCS is exploring the possibility of setting up offices in Coimbatore, Kolkata, and Kochi.
To strengthen its engagement with Madhya Pradesh's academic and technology ecosystem, Infosys plans to launch skilling programs and establish partnerships with prestigious institutions like IIT Indore, IIM Indore, and Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV). The company's CEO, Mohan Yadav, highlighted Indore's growing status as a technology hub, supported by a robust talent base and a burgeoning innovation ecosystem.
The investment in Indore will generate employment opportunities for Madhya Pradesh's skilled youth and further enhance the state's technology ecosystem, Yadav stated.
The expansion will also allow Infosys to capitalize on Central India's expanding talent pool, the company's statement emphasized. The new campus will be equipped with facilities such as flexible workstations, training centers, and wellness centers. Infosys CFO, Jayesh Sanghrajka, added that the expansion will enable the company to leverage the region's strong talent pool, enhance its capabilities in AI, cloud, and digital technologies, and deliver greater value to its global clients.
