IT services company Infosys inaugurated its state-of-the-art development center in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This development center is spread across 83,750 sq. ft. of area and will accommodate 1,000 employees. The Visakhapatnam center is expected to offer greater flexibility to employees to work in hybrid mode and closer to their home, the company said.

“Aimed at bringing the workspace closer to Infoscions, this center will further our approach towards creating hybrid workplaces and also offer new opportunities to the local talent pool. Visakhapatnam has developed into a favorable investment destination, and we are very grateful to the State Government of Andhra Pradesh for extending their support as we commence our operations here,” said Nilanjan Roy, chief financial officer, Infosys. The center was inaugurated by state chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in the presence of senior government and company officials.

The Visakhapatnam development center is built in accordance with Infosys’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and green building standards, and is efficient in terms of energy and water usage.
