IBM has opened its new IBM Client Innovation Center (CIC) in Mysuru to support the rapid, high-tech driven economic growth in the region and provide comprehensive hybrid cloud and AI technology consulting capabilities.

As an entrepreneurial startup within IBM Consulting, CIC specialises in design, software engineering and analytics.

CIC’s mission is to support clients in the transformation of their business by utilising delivery capabilities throughout the entire system development life cycle, from design to architecture to creation.

IBM CIC is looking to hire over 10,000 staff this quarter globally. This builds on double-digit hiring growth in its Global Delivery Centers already in 2021.

This continued investment in talent will expand the company's skillsets in areas such as AI, intelligent workflows, application modernisation and management and hybrid cloud.

IBM Consulting will now operate in eight CIC locations, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, National Capital Region and Pune, across India.
