ITServe Alliance, one of the largest associations of IT companies in the United States, entered into a partnership with the Indian State of Telangana on Dec. 18 to facilitate regional innovation and decentralize IT development.
This collaboration aims to create 30,000 new jobs in Tier-II and Tier-III towns, such as Mahbubnagar, Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam, and Nizamabad, marking a significant step towards inclusive growth, regional development, and the establishment of a robust innovation ecosystem in the state.
The agreement was signed in the presence of Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Telangana Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communication, Industry & Commerce and Legislative Affairs, Jagadeesh Mosali, national president of ITServe Alliance; Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary, Industries & Commerce and IT Departments, Government of Telangana. Other notable attendees included Sai Krishna, advisor to the IT Minister, and leaders from ITServe Alliance.
Speaking at the event, Duddilla Sridhar Babu highlighted the transformative potential of the initiative, stating, “By bringing IT infrastructure and opportunities to Tier-II and Tier-III towns, we are not only creating jobs but also empowering communities across the state. We are committed to ensuring that Hyderabad’s IT success is replicated in tier-II and III towns, fostering equal development and opportunity. Telangana’s talent is our greatest asset, and we are focused on both skilling and reskilling the local workforce to make them industry-ready while bringing opportunities to their hometowns."
"This will help reduce migration to cities like Hyderabad, which is expected to face space constraints in the coming years, and aid in decongesting the city. This will contribute to the growth of a vibrant innovation ecosystem. This partnership with ITServe Alliance takes us a step closer to realizing this vision of balanced, sustainable growth for the entire state," he added.
Under the MoU, the state government will support ITServe member companies in setting up operations in the smaller cities and towns, while ITServe Alliance will leverage its extensive network to drive IT growth and create a robust ecosystem in these regions.
Jagadeesh Mosali, national president of ITServe Alliance, expressed optimism about the partnership. “This MoU represents an exciting opportunity for ITServe member companies to expand their reach and contribute to the development of untapped talent in Tier-II and Tier-III towns. By bridging the gap between infrastructure and opportunity, we aim to create sustainable growth that benefits both businesses and local communities. We look forward to a long-term partnership with the Telangana Government that brings immense value to our members and drives holistic development across the state,” he said.
To further strengthen the collaboration, the Telangana Government will allocate land in Hyderabad’s Financial District for the construction of office buildings to house ITServe member companies. This initiative will integrate the IT companies’ regional and urban operations, cementing Telangana’s position as a comprehensive IT hub.
The partnership includes provisions for developing critical infrastructure, such as office spaces and modern facilities, to attract ITServe companies to expand their operations in smaller cities. This initiative represents a significant shift toward decentralized IT growth, with an emphasis on sustainable employment, infrastructure development, and talent nurturing in Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
