Covasant Technologies has inaugurated a new AI Innovation Centre in Hyderabad with the goal of driving technological advancement and enterprise adoption of agentic AI solutions. The company plans an ambitious hiring initiative, aiming to onboard 3,000 professionals by 2028 across key disciplines including artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), cybersecurity, and data engineering. This initiative begins with the immediate recruitment of 500 engineers to the Hyderabad facility. The centre’s opening was marked by the presence of notable government officials including IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu and Special Chief Secretary Sanjay Kumar, underscoring Telangana’s broader ambition to establish Hyderabad as a premier AI hub in India and place the city among the top 20 global technology destinations. Covasant’s focus on agentic AI — AI that can act autonomously to drive business outcomes — highlights its commitment to pioneering scalable and secure AI applications for enterprises. This move is a significant step in strengthening India’s growing AI ecosystem, particularly in Hyderabad, which is rapidly emerging as a major technology and innovation centre. With the combination of private-sector innovation and government support, Covasant Technologies’ AI Innovation Centre aims to contribute to both local economic growth and the global advancement of AI capabilities.
