The centre, formally inaugurated by Karnataka Minister for Large & Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development M B Patil and Minister for Electronics, IT & Biotechnology Priyank Kharge, will focus on delivering advanced digital solutions across key areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, engineering services, SAP, and space technology [1][2][3]. The centre will cater to a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and financial services, both in India and globally.
Infosys has also forged strong ties with local institutions like IIIT Dharwad and KLE Technological University to drive innovation and collaboration in the region. The company has issued about 600 placement offer letters to students of engineering colleges located in and around Dharwad district to quickly ramp up operations at its Hubballi centre [2].
The Karnataka government has provided support to the initiative by extending assistance of ₹50 lakh to start-ups in the region [3]. Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and IT, BT Priyank Kharge, highlighted the government's commitment to fostering innovation and creating employment opportunities in north Karnataka.
Infosys plans to expand its presence in north Karnataka and create employment opportunities in the region. The company is exploring possibilities of expanding its business footprint to other districts of north Karnataka, further boosting regional growth and inclusivity [3].
The new centre is expected to drive economic activity, strengthen industry-academia collaboration, and position Hubballi as a vital contributor to Karnataka’s digital future [3]. The success of Infosys in Hubballi is seen as a result of the 'Beyond Bengaluru' initiative, which aims to develop innovation corridors in Mysuru, Mangaluru, and Belagavi [3].
