A Hub for Real-Time Intelligence

According to Octave, the Hyderabad facility will play a pivotal role in developing solutions for industries that manage complex assets and critical infrastructure. These sectors require high-level, real-time intelligence and data-driven decision-making capabilities to operate safely and efficiently. The center also features a dedicated 'experience centre' to showcase its technological prowess.

Minister D. Sridhar Babu highlighted that Hyderabad has become the premier destination for global corporations looking to establish their first Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India. He cited the city's deep engineering talent pool and stable ecosystem as primary drivers for this influx of global tech giants.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the rapid expansion of GCCs in Hyderabad is transforming the local economy from a service-based model to a high-end product engineering model. With 75 new GCCs welcomed last year and a target of 100 more by next year, the region is cementing its status as a global innovation powerhouse.

The establishment of high-end R&D centers like Octave's in Hyderabad signifies a shift in the global tech value chain toward Indian engineering talent.

Historically, Octave emerged following the 2025 spin-off of Hexagon AB’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence and Infrastructure divisions. Today, the company employs approximately 7,200 professionals across 45 countries, making this Hyderabad expansion a strategic move for its next phase of global growth.
