\n\tSwiss healthcare giant Roche has announced plans to establish a new Digital Technology Hub in Hyderabad, marking a major expansion of its technology operations in India. The facility will become the company\u2019s second digital hub in the country after Pune and is expected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe move is part of Roche\u2019s broader strategy to strengthen its global technology network and leverage India\u2019s growing healthcare and technology talent base. The company plans to gradually expand the Hyderabad center over the coming years as demand for digital healthcare solutions continues to grow.<\/p>\n
\n\tHighlighting the significance of the new location, Ramesh Durvasula, Chief Data Officer at Roche, said, \u201cHyderabad is a destination for an exceptional talent pool, especially for the pharmaceutical and life sciences domain. By tapping into India\u2019s vibrant healthcare and technology ecosystem, we are creating scalable data-driven innovations to advance our core purpose of improving patient care\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Hyderabad hub will work alongside Roche\u2019s existing Pune facility and support a wide range of digital and technology functions. Teams based at the two centers will focus on delivering IT services, developing digital applications, and supporting key areas such as biostatistics, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and medical safety.<\/p>\n
\tAccording to the company, the new center will add greater depth to its life sciences expertise<\/a> and strengthen its ability to build advanced digital solutions <\/a>for the healthcare sector. The expansion is also expected to help Roche accelerate innovation and improve operational efficiency across its global business.<\/p>\n
\n\tRaja Jamalamadaka, Vice-President and Site Head of Roche\u2019s Pune and Hyderabad operations, emphasized the company\u2019s long-term commitment to India. He said, \u201cOur investment in Hyderabad – a rapidly growing destination for research, technology and high-end innovations – reflects our long-term commitment to India and its ecosystem. By scaling our footprint, we are enhancing our capability to orchestrate seamless, next-generation digital and technology solutions\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n\tRoche has already established a strong foundation in India through its Digital Centre of Excellence (DCoE) in Pune. The company previously described the Pune facility as an important milestone in its long-term vision to build a data-driven insights business and advance healthcare innovation through digital transformation.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Pune center supports several strategic initiatives, including laboratory insights, clinical workflow optimization, clinical decision support systems, and patient monitoring technologies. These capabilities help healthcare providers make informed decisions and improve patient outcomes through technology-enabled solutions.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn addition to technology and innovation, Roche places significant emphasis on workplace design and employee experience. Like other Roche facilities around the world, the Pune center follows the company\u2019s ‘Our Spaces’ design principles, combining minimalist architecture, natural elements, and locally inspired features. The company believes such environments foster collaboration, creativity, and innovation.<\/p>\n
\n\tFounded in 1896 in Basel, Switzerland, Roche has grown into one of the world\u2019s leading healthcare companies. It operates in more than 150 countries and serves millions of patients through its pharmaceutical and diagnostics businesses.<\/p>\n
