ServiceNow has announced the launch of its India Innovation Centre, a digital incubation hub aimed at empowering Indian enterprises to redefine their work processes with the help of advanced technologies like GenAI, hyperautomation, and low-code apps. Located in Knowledge City, Hyderabad, the innovation center provides purpose-built rooms where companies can develop custom digital blueprints to scale their business strategies.

Indian enterprises have increasingly embraced ServiceNow solutions to address productivity challenges and establish robust digital businesses. The company serves leading technology providers, top banks, and has witnessed rapid growth in the public sector since the launch of its local data centers in 2022. With over 15 percent of its global workforce based in India, ServiceNow prioritizes investing in the country’s broader ecosystem to equip people with digital skills.
Sumeet Mathur, Vice President & Managing Director of ServiceNow India Technology & Business Centre, emphasized that the new innovation center will act as a collaborative briefing center, enabling customers to explore the value that ServiceNow can bring to their organizations.
With Hyderabad serving as ServiceNow’s largest product development site, the center presents an opportunity for developers to directly engage with end-users, leading to greater efficiency and innovation. Additionally, ServiceNow’s RiseUp program has partnered with ten academic and government institutions in India, committing to train over 5,500 students in digital skills.
