IBM OPENS 15TH CONSULTING HUB IN VISAKHAPATNAM

IBM's 15th FutureNow Centre lands in Visakhapatnam—a deliberate play in Andhra Pradesh's AI-first positioning.

The hub anchors 5 practice areas: AI, hybrid cloud, cybersecurity, data & analytics, enterprise transformation. Built to scale global consulting delivery, not just domestic bench.

Why this matters for GCC professionals: consulting hubs are where delivery meets capability-building. IBM's expansion into tier-2 tech cities signals 2 things—(1) client demand for consulting talent outside Bangalore/Hyderabad corridors, (2) state governments now compete hard for GCC anchors. GCC ERA tracks 1,800+ centres; this move reflects a structural shift in where consulting work gets built.

📍 If your GCC is in a secondary city, what's your consulting arm's growth play?
