Octave Intelligence has expanded its India footprint with the launch of a 2 lakh sq ft Technology and Innovation Centre in Hyderabad, positioning the city as a key base for its global engineering and technology operations. The company plans to scale the centre to 2,000 engineers over the coming years, with teams working across software engineering, artificial intelligence, data, cloud and product development.

The new facility is intended to support Octave’s products and technology used by customers across global markets. The company develops software for mission-critical industrial facilities and infrastructure, with its portfolio spanning areas such as geospatial intelligence, enterprise asset management, engineering information management, physical security and quality management. Octave currently serves around 4,500 customers across 180 countries, making the Hyderabad operation an important part of its international technology network.

The engineering hub will also focus on helping organisations turn complex operational data into actionable intelligence. Octave said its teams will work on technologies that combine AI and advanced analytics to support areas including reliability, productivity, safety, sustainability and decision-making. The centre also includes an experience facility designed to demonstrate the company’s contextual intelligence capabilities.

Octave’s move adds to Hyderabad’s increasingly specialised GCC ecosystem, where global companies are using their India operations for product engineering and innovation rather than only back-office delivery. Telangana officials said the city attracted 75 new GCCs over the past year, while the state is targeting another 100. The Octave investment therefore reflects a broader shift towards building deep engineering capabilities in India around AI, cloud, data and industry-specific technology.

For Hyderabad, the bigger signal is clear: GCC growth is increasingly being measured not just by headcount, but by the complexity of the work being built from India.
