Hyderabad, Somavarapu said, has tremendous opportunity in terms of talent and as it is centrally located from Australia and England, it will be easier for them to work on different products and problems. “The engineers working from the Hyderabad centre will work for the global market from India,” he said.

IT and Industries Department Principal Secretary Jayesh Ranjan said Hyderabad has succeeded in attracting many Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and many consumer facing brands have also their presence here.
