Expanding its global technology footprint, T-Mobile US has inaugurated a new 250,000-square-foot technology centre in Hyderabad, marking a significant step in its India growth strategy.
The facility, operated through its subsidiary TMUS Global Solutions, will function as a Global Capability Centre (GCC) supporting the company’s engineering and technology operations. By 2027, the centre is expected to employ around 1,000 professionals across software engineering, DevOps, product development and related functions. Reports indicate that more than 500 employees have already joined the facility.
The launch comes after multiple rounds of workforce reductions in the United States, including layoffs in March and April. The affected roles reportedly included employees in IT operations, engineering, technical and analyst functions. While the total number of job cuts was not disclosed, at least 500 workers in Washington state were impacted.
Addressing concerns about potential job transfers, a company spokesperson stated that employees at the Hyderabad centre were previously long-term contractors and vendors in India who have now been converted into direct employees of TMUS Global Solutions and relocated to the new office.
“To say or imply that we shifted roles from the US to India is not accurate,” the spokesperson said. “In the US, our tech team continues to hire to further deliver best-in-class digital-first experiences.”
T-Mobile joins a growing list of global companies expanding their GCC presence in India. In 2024, approximately 1,800 offshore corporate offices operated across the country, with most owned by American companies. These centres generated a combined $65 billion in revenue, with projections indicating earnings could exceed $100 billion by 2030.
The move also reflects a broader trend among companies headquartered in the Seattle region that are increasing investments in India while reshaping workforce strategies. At the same time, Washington state has witnessed significant employment challenges, with more than 11,000 technology workers losing jobs between May 2025 and April 2026. The state’s unemployment rate reached 5% in January, its highest level since 2021.
