Infosys to Scale Up Vizag Operations, to Set Up 7000 Seater Campus on 20 Acre Campus in Vizag

Visakhapatnam is rapidly emerging as one of India’s most promising IT destinations, powered by a strong local talent base and a maturing ecosystem that is increasingly attracting global technology investments. Reinforcing this trend, Infosys has been allotted 20 acres of land in Vizag to set up a 7000 seater facility.

Over the last two years, Infosys has scaled its workforce in Visakhapatnam from 250 employees in early 2024 to nearly 1,900 currently, with an additional 750 seats set to become operational in the near term. The company has also outlined plans for a permanent 20-acre campus, with a long-term seating capacity of 7,000 professionals - demonstrating strong confidence in the region’s long-term potential.

A defining feature of this growth is the deep integration with the local talent ecosystem. The Visakhapatnam campus has recruited over 1,000 freshers and 500 lateral hires from the region, reflecting the availability of industry-ready talent and the success of Andhra Pradesh’s focused skilling and industry-aligned education initiatives.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has played a proactive role in enabling this transformation. Through progressive policies such as IT & GCC and LIFT, coupled with industry-academia collaboration, robust infrastructure support, and employee-friendly urban mobility solutions, the state has created an enabling environment for IT companies to scale seamlessly.

Ecosystem led approach

This ecosystem-led approach is helping reverse the long-standing trend of talent migration, positioning Visakhapatnam not just as a source of skilled professionals, but as a destination where global companies can build and retain high-quality teams.

Shri Nara Lokesh, Minister for IT, Electronics & Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh, said: “The growth of Visakhapatnam as an IT hub is a direct reflection of the strength of our local talent and the ecosystem we are building around it. For years, our youth have powered global technology companies from across the world. Today, that same talent is choosing to build their careers here in Andhra Pradesh. Our vision is to create a vibrant, talent-first ecosystem where industry, academia, and government work in synergy. The expansion of Infosys in Visakhapatnam is a strong validation of this approach and reinforces our commitment to transforming Andhra Pradesh into a global hub for technology and innovation.”

As Andhra Pradesh continues to strengthen its position in the IT and digital economy landscape, Visakhapatnam’s rise - anchored in talent and ecosystem development -offers a compelling model for the next phase of India’s technology-led growth.

4baseCare Partners with Bio Valley to Build India’s Next-Gen Genomics Hub in Vizag

In a significant step towards building India's Next-Generation Genomics ecosystem, Bio Valley, 4baseCare and Define Bio (P) Ltd. (Biobank) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) named BioSphere dedicated to Genomics and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) at Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), Vizag.
