The Hartford, a leading US-based insurance company, announces the grand opening of its new India Technology Centre today in Hyderabad’s Financial District. This strategic expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to advancing artificial intelligence and digital innovation.
The Hartford will operate its cutting-edge technology centre from the top two floors of Kalyani Trident, a facility designed to ignite innovation and energise teams. The office features dynamic collaboration areas to foster teamwork and creativity, state-of-the-art workstations, and training facilities to support continual learning and professional growth. The new office also features a history wall celebrating The Hartford’s more-than-200-year legacy.
“The true strength of The Hartford has always been its people,” said The Hartford’s Chief Information Officer Shekar Pannala. “By building on our world-class workforce with this technology centre in Hyderabad, we are not only creating new digital and AI capabilities but also shaping the future of insurance technology. This centre will be a magnet for talent in India – a place where engineering excellence and unified purpose drive innovation at scale.”
Hyderabad, like The Hartford, is a place where heritage meets innovation. The city was selected because of its thriving ecosystem, diverse and skilled technology workforce, and reputation as a global innovation centre. The Hyderabad office is part of The Hartford’s forward-looking approach to develop a global technology team that accelerates engineering capabilities and scales development centres across key locations. It will complement The Hartford’s existing US technology centres in Hartford, Connecticut; Chicago, Illinois; and Charlotte, North Carolina, and support the company’s broader innovation agenda.
“The team we are hiring in Hyderabad will apply advancements in data, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies to elevate and expand The Hartford’s capabilities while upholding the high standards of ethics and integrity for which we are known,” said The Hartford’s Chief Data, AI and Operations Officer Jeff Hawkins. “We are eager for the Hyderabad workforce to share in our bold, imaginative work.”
