IBM has opened its new Client Innovation Center (CIC) in Gandhinagar, India, as part of its ongoing expansion into non-metro and emerging cities across the country. In addition to gaining access and offering expanded opportunities to a broader talent pool, the Center will also help further fast-track the digital transformation and economic growth in the region.
The Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, praised the collaboration between IBM and Gujarat for its success in digital transformation and the value proposition of Gujarat’s forward-thinking policies. IBM Consulting’s Senior Vice President, John Granger, said that the expansion of its CIC network to Gandhinagar will enhance its value proposition to clients and partners worldwide.
IBM plans to focus on key technology areas such as AI, hybrid cloud, and cybersecurity, leveraging 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. The expanded presence in Gandhinagar will create opportunities for existing employees and enable IBM to harness potential talent, including graduate hires from the educational ecosystem in and around the city.
