Infosys has just taken a giant leap in strengthening India’s tech ecosystem by launching a state-of-the-art Centre for Advanced AI, Cybersecurity, and Space Technology in Hubballi, Karnataka. This new facility is not only a boost for the region’s digital footprint but also marks a significant expansion of the company’s Living Labs innovation network.
The launch event saw the presence of key government figures including Karnataka’s Minister for Large and Medium Industries M B Patil and Minister for Electronics and IT Priyank Kharge. Their support underlines the state’s push to become a leader in high-impact tech domains. With this centre, Infosys has now crossed 1,000 employees in Hubballi, a strong indicator of how the city is emerging as a major tech hub in North Karnataka.
This centre is more than just a new office. It is designed to deliver powerful digital solutions across some of the most transformative tech spaces today. From artificial intelligence and cloud computing to cybersecurity and engineering services, the centre will be catering to a wide range of industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and global financial services.
Being part of Infosys’ global Living Labs network, the Hubballi centre will play a key role in fostering innovation through research, co-creation with clients, and rapid prototyping. This setup enables companies to shorten their digital transformation cycles and bring ideas to life much faster than traditional methods.
What makes this move even more significant is its impact on local talent. The centre opens doors for engineers and tech professionals from Hubballi and surrounding areas to work on world-class projects in future-ready sectors. Minister M B Patil called it a “game-changer” for the region, not just because of the jobs it brings but also due to its potential to create stronger links between academia and industry.
He also encouraged Infosys to consider expanding to other northern districts in the state to ensure balanced regional development and tap into a wider talent pool.
With Infosys doubling down on cutting-edge tech and expanding its innovation footprint in India, this development represents a positive step for the Indian tech sector and the future of high-skilled employment in tier-two cities.
