Overview
- Mars inaugurated a 60,000 sq ft Global Capability Centre in Hyderabad in partnership with Genpact and began operations with 400 Genpact employees on site.
- The company says the centre will transition over time to roughly 1,000 Mars associates to serve as a regional hub for digital capability and operational design.
- Mars described the GCC as a business-enablement centre that will use Genpact’s agentic operations to improve operational speed, consistency and visibility across its global business.
- Telangana’s IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu formally opened the facility and framed GCCs as tools to broaden the state’s economy toward technology, R&D, data analytics and product engineering.
- The Hyderabad centre builds on Mars’s India footprint since 1995, which includes seven factories, more than 2,400 employees and a recent $55 million expansion of its pet nutrition factory, and could drive staged hiring and higher-skilled local jobs as operations hand over to Mars.
