ServiceNow opens development centre in Hyderabad

ServiceNow, a US-based firm that provides digital work flow capabilities to businesses, has opened a new development centre here.

The second largest centre for the company with 10,000 employees globally, the Hyderabad centre has about 2,000 employees.

“We are going to hire about 1,200 employees in the next 9-12 months. We are going to add two more floors at this facility,” Rao Surapaneni, Vice-President of Engineering and Head (India Product Operations) of ServiceNow, said.

The company kicked off its operations five years ago with two people. The new centre will be its largest research and development centre in Asia and its second largest globally.

Addressing a press conference to mark the inauguration of the development centre on Friday, he said the firm had entered into an agreement with Telangana Academy of Skills and Knowledge (TASK), a skill development organisation set by the State Government to train engineering graduates in ServiceNow technologies.
