IBM has opened its new IBM Consulting Client Innovation Center (CIC) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, as part of its ongoing expansion into non-metro and emerging cities across the country. The center will focus on key technology areas such as AI, hybrid cloud, and cybersecurity, and will leverage the security engineering talent pool to build cybersecurity platforms and accelerators for automating threat management, improving regulatory compliance, and proactively preparing clients against various attack planes.
The expanded presence in Gandhinagar will create opportunities for existing employees and enable IBM to harness potential talent, including graduate hires from the educational ecosystem in and around the city. IBM will now operate from twelve CIC locations in India, including Bhubaneshwar, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, National Capital Region, Pune, Mysuru, Kochi, and Coimbatore. The collaboration with industry leaders like IBM has been a key driver of Gujarat’s success in its digital transformation journey and contributed to the realization of the Digital India vision.
John Granger, Senior Vice President, IBM Consulting said, “The expansion of our CIC network to Gandhinagar will scale our asset-led delivery of IT services and enhance our value proposition to our clients and partners across the world.”
