Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Saturday inaugurated Hexaware Technologies' new delivery centre in GIFT City, a facility expected to create around 1,000 highly skilled jobs over the next three years and expand opportunities in advanced technology sectors, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data analytics and automation.
The new centre has been established on the seventh and eighth floors of the Pragya-II building in GIFT City, Gandhinagar.

As someone who works in tech, I'm impressed. AI, cloud, data analytics - these are the fields that will define the next decade. 1000 skilled jobs is significant. But I hope the salaries are competitive enough to attract and retain top talent. Otherwise, people will still look at Bangalore or Hyderabad.
finally some good economic news! 🙏 my brother is finishing his B.Tech this year and was worried about placements. hope companies like hexaware come to more tier-2 cities. gift city has so much potential if the infrastructure keeps improving.
Good development but let's be honest - 1000 jobs over 3 years is modest for a state like Gujarat. We need much more aggressive investment in skilling and education. Also, I hope these aren't just servicedesk or low-end IT jobs. The article mentions AI and cloud, so let's see if they deliver on that promise.
Impressive to see GIFT City attracting global firms like Hexaware. The infrastructure there is world-class. My firm is actually considering setting up a presence there too. The tax incentives and SEZ benefits make it attractive. But they need to work on connectivity - better flights and road links would help.
I'm from Gujarat but working in Mumbai. Would love to move back if opportunities like this grow. 1000 jobs is a solid start but we need thousands more to stop the brain drain to Bangalore/Pune. Also hope the govt focuses on creating a good quality of life - parks, schools, hospitals around GIFT City.
