Senior company representatives, including Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Dan Schumacher, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Agnes Semington, Chief Technology and & AI Officer Marc Kermisch and India MD Ashish Sharma, met Telangana IT Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu here on Thursday to discuss the proposed centre and its strategic role in global operations.

The company plans to commence operations this month and scale the centre to a headcount of 200–300 employees.
Sridhar Babu said Hyderabad offers a strong base of engineering talent and a growing manufacturing ecosystem, making it suitable for next-generation, product-driven GCCs.

The GCC is expected to enhance Hyderabad’s innovation ecosystem by enabling faster transition from design to production for startups and enterprises, while supporting product-led growth.
