Telstra, Australia’s largest telecom company, is expanding operations in India with the opening of innovation and capability centers in Pune and Hyderabad, as well as a product engineering lab in Bengaluru.
According to reports in the Indian media, Telstra’s global capability centre (GCC) has opened its first office in Bengaluru to drive technology and innovation for global operations. Both Hyderabad and Pune will become capability centres after Bengaluru.
Telstra is opening these new centres as part of its strategy to drive global technology work out of India. There are three new facilities spread over 1 lakh square feet. Telstra said the new centres would be “hubs of innovation” and would expand its talent acquisition efforts in India.
As part of its recently-launched innovation and capability centres in India, Verizon is preparing technologists to work on some of the world’s most critical challenges related to Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML), among others.
