Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, while inaugurating the new Development Center of Infosys at GIFT City, reaffirmed the State Government's commitment to advancing the AI industry by implementing artificial intelligence-based systems across the state.

He stated that the establishment of an AI Centre of Excellence at GIFT City is aimed at creating a unified platform that brings together solution developers, experts, professionals, and startups under one roof.

According to the release, the newly operational Development Center of Infosys at GIFT City will focus on delivering advanced financial technology solutions under the FinTech framework. Additionally, it will place a strong emphasis on global services and innovation.

Expressing his gratitude to Infosys for establishing this Development Center in Gujarat, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel stated that GIFT City--envisioned under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi--has emerged as the nation's hub for technology and fintech, hosting several leading global IT, fintech, and new-age technology firms.

He further added that the definition of technology has transformed over the past decade as a result of the Digital India Mission launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Under the Prime Minister's leadership, several policies and missions have been initiated over the past 11 years to give focused impetus to IT-enabled industries, semiconductors, and the electronics sector.

The Chief Minister stated that Gujarat is fully prepared to lead in positioning India as a soft power leader and a knowledge-based economy. He also recalled the significant role played by Infosys founder Narayana Murthy in establishing "iCreate," an institution dedicated to guiding youth in the field of innovation in the state.

On the occasion, Infosys CFO Jayesh Sanghrajka highlighted the company's growth journey, noting that Infosys, a global leader in consulting and IT services, was founded in 1981.

With over four decades of experience in managing systems and processes for global enterprises, Infosys today supports clients in 56 countries and has a strong workforce of over 320,000 employees worldwide.

He further mentioned that in 2024, Infosys was recognized as one of the best employers in India and, for the fourth consecutive year, ranked among the top 50 large companies in the country for women to work.

On this occasion, Principal Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology, Mona Khandhar, IFSCA Chairperson K. Rajaraman, Infosys Senior Vice Presidents Rajneesh Malviya and Niladri Prasad Mishra, and Director of ICT & e-Governance, Government of Gujarat, Kavita Shah, along with other dignitaries.

This is fantastic news for Gujarat's tech ecosystem! GIFT City is truly becoming India's answer to Singapore's fintech hub. The 1000+ jobs created will boost local economy. Hope other states take inspiration from Gujarat's progressive policies 👍

As someone working in fintech, I'm excited about the AI/ML focus for financial institutions. But I hope they also invest in proper cybersecurity measures - with digital payments growing, we can't afford another PayTM-like situation. Overall a great step forward!

Gujarat continues to lead in development! But I wish they would spread such projects more evenly across India. Why always Gujarat/Maharashtra/Karnataka? Eastern states need these opportunities too. #BalancedDevelopment

The focus on AI and fintech is timely. With UPI going global, we need Indian companies to lead in financial technologies. Just hope the jobs go to deserving local talent rather than being outsourced or given only to IIT/IIM grads.

₹32 crore investment sounds good on paper, but is it enough for cutting-edge AI research? Silicon Valley companies spend billions. We need to match global standards if we want to compete internationally. The intent is good though!

As an Ahmedabad resident, I'm proud to see our state progressing! But infrastructure needs to keep pace - the Gandhinagar-Ahmedabad road gets jammed during peak hours. More development means we need better urban planning too 🚗💨
