HYDERABAD | 14 May 2026: Reckitt, the British consumer health and hygiene powerhouse, has announced a major expansion of its global delivery infrastructure in India. Already an established name in the city’s tech landscape through its Global Hub at The Skyview 20, the company has now unlocked an additional workspace at Phoenix Equinox in Hyderabad.
This signals a deepening of Reckitt’s “Center of Excellence” strategy, transforming its Hyderabad operations from a support function into a high-intensity engine for global business process transformation.
A Dual Hub Ecosystem in the Tech Corridor
Sandvik is a global powerhouse in equipment, tools, services, and digital solutions for the machining, mining, and rock processing industries. In 2025, Sandvik reported robust revenues of approximately 120.6 billion SEK with a highly specialized global workforce of over 41,000 employees.
The company is aggressively building leading digital platforms, managing globally recognized software brands like Mastercam, Cimatron, GibbsCAM, and Metrologic DCS, aiming to scale its digital revenue to SEK 13 billion by 2030
With a decentralized operating model across 23 divisions globally, Sandvik’s footprint is vast. Its presence in India, Pune is deeply rooted, spanning over 60 years.
Deconstructing the Innovation Hub: Core Capabilities
The expansion into Phoenix Equinox represents a play for operational agility. By operating across two high-end facilities in the Madhapur-Financial District belt, Reckitt is creating a distributed yet integrated hub environment:
- The Skyview & Equinox Synergy: The dual-site strategy allows the company to segment its operations between legacy ERP management and new-age digital innovation.
- Capacity for Scale: The new space is designed to support a growing workforce focused on high-complexity functions across IT&D, Supply Chain, and R&D.
- Collaboration-First Design: The facility moves away from traditional cubicle layouts toward open, “collision-rich” environments intended to foster cross-functional problem-solving.
Anchoring Digital & Business Transformation
The Hyderabad Hub has emerged as the global nerve center for Reckitt’s most critical enterprise-wide projects. The center is driving:
- ERP Modernization: Consolidating global systems into a unified digital core to improve real-time decision-making.
- Global Business Process Transformation: Redesigning how the company manages its end-to-end supply chain and finance operations for emerging markets.
- Procurement Intelligence: Leveraging localized expertise to manage global spending and supply resilience, led by the procurement and finance leadership teams.
Industry Perspective
Reckitt’s continued destination for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) at Hyderabad shows the city’s ability to offer high-quality Grade-A real estate alongside a deep pool of technology and shared-services talent remains unmatched.
As Reckitt integrates its new Equinox facility into its global network, it sets a new benchmark for how FMCG leaders are localizing their innovation stacks. In the 2026 landscape, the most successful global firms are those that treat their Indian hubs not as distant outposts, but as the strategic core of their enterprise transformation.
