Hyderabad | 1 December 2025: Covasant Technologies has inaugurated a new AI Innovation Centre at the Atria Block of the International Tech Park in HITEC City, Hyderabad. The facility has capacity for 500 AI engineers today, with ambitious plans to scale up to 3,000 by 2028, reflecting strong confidence in India’s growing role as a global deep-tech and enterprise-AI hub.
Building “Enterprise-Grade Agentic AI” at Scale
Unlike traditional outsourcing or support-centre models, the new Covasant hub is focused on delivering agentic AI – autonomous AI agents capable of executing business workflows, backed by robust governance, compliance, and enterprise-ready controls.
“By creating the AI Innovation Center, we are giving our customers a safe environment to explore AI agents, move from experiment to business impact, and build for scale, with enterprise guardrails.”
– C. V. Subramanyam, Chairman & MD of Covasant
This centre has been built to help enterprises move from AI experimentation to real business impact, offering services in AI engineering, data engineering, cloud-native deployments, cybersecurity, compliance and enterprise risk management. Their broader “Services-as-Software” model aims to simplify AI adoption for global clients with secure, scalable and governance-ready solutions.
Hyderabad: India’s Emerging AI & GCC Command Centre
The launch comes at a time when Hyderabad is rapidly gaining reputation as a preferred location for Global Capability Centres (GCCs), product-engineering hubs, and deep-tech innovation centres. As noted by D. Sridhar Babu, Telangana’s IT & Industries Minister, during the inauguration, Hyderabad is now becoming what he described as “an AI command centre.” With a solid mix of engineering talent, supportive policy environment, and global delivery focus, the city appears well positioned to host more such next-gen hubs across sectors.
Covasant’s rapid build-up is emblematic of a broader shift: organisations are increasingly viewing shared services, GCCs, and AI-led centres not just as cost or support engines, but as strategic assets for product-engineering, innovation, and global delivery excellence.
This is a clear validation of the vision that SSF Global has long advocated: that enterprises, whether in tech, manufacturing, services or beyond, must build GCC/GBS footprints with global-grade governance, scalable operating models, and transformation-first mindsets. Covasant’s expansion reaffirms the critical role of ecosystem partners, transformation specialists and delivery-maturity enablers.
As more companies chart similar growth paths, driven by AI, automation, and global delivery needs, there will also be a growing demand for catalysts who can design, build, and scale these capabilities. SSF Global is ready to support this new wave of enterprise transformation and global-capability building.
