IT solutions provider UST has announced hiring plans for its upcoming facility in Kochi, Kerala. The California-based firm will add 3,000 roles at the new campus which will be inaugurated by 2027. The new office is in addition to UST’s existing facility in the city that employs 2,800 people. 

The new Kochi office will be built on a 9-acre land. It will be a 10-floor building with 4,400 seats and an area of over 6,00,000 sq. ft. It will also be incorporating the latest technology, and energy-efficient measures generating green energy. When the Kochi campus goes on stream, it will become the second-owned campus in India for UST after Thiruvananthapuram, the company said in a statement.  The new campus will not only strengthen UST’s presence in the region but also attract more clients and create new work opportunities, positioning Kochi as a dynamic hub for innovation and growth, said Krishna Sudheendra, CEO, UST.

UST currently caters to the US, UK, and APAC clients from almost all domains such as healthcare, retail, telecom, financial services/asset management, and hi-tech. “Ever since UST began its Kochi operations in 2007, we have been able to post steady growth. The strategic location of Kochi aids companies to easily connect and reach out to other IT locations in South India. This aspect, along with Kochi’s development in social and physical infrastructure arenas, has helped UST attract talent from other locations, said Alexander Varghese, Chief Operating Officer, UST.

With UST’s own campus coming up in Kochi, we will be able to add jobs and customers in a big way, he added.

Founded in 1999, UST, which began its India operations with its headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram, has expanded its presence across India with offices in Hyderabad, Kochi, Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi NCR, Ahmedabad, and Hosur.

Notably, UST’s Hyderabad office was opened in November 2023. The facility acts as a centre for research and development in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of things (IoT). At the time of launch, the company had announced that the facility will accommodate over 2,000 employees which is expected to double within three years.
