Hyderabad’s Rise As India’s Enterprise Tech Capital
Summary
Redwood Software selected Hyderabad for a 30,000 sq. ft. global capability centre after evaluating talent pools, infrastructure, retention and costs, and already employs about 125 people with plans to grow to 300 by 2027. The company is hiring across engineering, cloud, AI and business operations and emphasizes a mix of mid-senior lateral hires and campus recruits to build long-term product teams. Redwood's India head argues the AI era shifts the value from memory and process to problem-solving and discernment, making mid-level engineers with 10–15 years' experience especially important. To improve retention, the company focuses on creating ownership and entrepreneurial feeling among employees, while noting India's language diversity and digital public infrastructure position it as critical to future AI development.
