IBM Consulting opens new client innovation centre in Gandhinagar

IBM on Friday announced the opening of its IBM Consulting Client Innovation Center (CIC) in Gandhinagar as part of its expansion strategy for India’s non-metro and emerging cities.

Besides gaining access to a broader talent pool, including fresh graduates, the centre will also help fast-track the digital transformation in the region, the company said.

The centre plans to focus on technology areas like generative artificial intelligence (AI), hybrid cloud and cybersecurity. It will also 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.


Along with the Gandhinagar centre, IBM Consulting will now operate from 12 CIC locations in India--Bhubaneshwar, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, the National Capital Region, Pune, Mysuru, Kochi and Coimbatore.

“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,” said John Granger, senior vice president, IBM Consulting.
