The Story in Brief
IBM opened its Consulting FutureNow Centre in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. HRD and IT Minister Nara Lokesh inaugurated the centre, which will work on artificial intelligence, hybrid cloud, software engineering, data and analytics, cybersecurity and enterprise transformation. It will also provide cloud transformation, platform engineering, service integration, quality engineering and user experience services.
Lokesh said the centre would strengthen Visakhapatnam’s technology sector and create opportunities for skilled professionals. IBM executives said the city’s talent, educational institutions and technology ecosystem would support global projects. IBM Consulting now has FutureNow Centres in 15 Indian locations. The company and government did not provide expected job numbers, investment details or timelines.
The Indian Opinion
The centre could create useful opportunities for skilled workers and strengthen Visakhapatnam’s technology ecosystem. However, official and corporate statements present mainly positive claims without independent evidence on jobs, investment or delivery timelines. Stronger conclusions would require clear targets and later results. Claims that the centre will transform the city should therefore be treated cautiously until its wider economic and educational impact is measured.
