HCLTech launches delivery center in Kerala to expand engineering, AI services

Global technology firm HCLTech has inaugurated its first delivery center in Kerala, located at Infopark in Kochi. This center is positioned to serve the growing engineering and research and development (R&D) needs of clients across industries including automotive, semiconductors, medical devices, and industrial technology.  

At this center, HCLTech will focus on providing customised Artificial Intelligence (AI) silicon solutions aimed at helping clients accelerate their product development cycles. The company plans to build additional solutions around Internet of Things (IoT) technology, as well as support the increasing demand for semiconductor chips, which has grown due to supply chain disruptions and evolving technology requirements in multiple industries.  

"Kochi's tech talent pool and infrastructure make it an ideal location for this center and we believe it will contribute significantly to the local tech ecosystem in Kerala," said Hari Sadarahalli, Corporate VP and Global Head, Engineering and R&D Services, HCLTech. 

The launch of the Kochi center comes as HCLTech reports financial growth in its most recent quarterly results. The company’s net profit for the quarter increased by 10.5%, reaching ₹4,235 crore, while revenue rose by 8.2%. The growth is largely attributed to HCLTech’s focus on advancing its AI and digital engineering capabilities, areas expected to see increasing demand from global clients. The new Kochi facility will support this growth by developing new engineering and AI solutions tailored to industry needs, the company said.
