California-headquartered AI-powered SaaS solutions provider for media and entertainment, telco and digital consumer businesses Evergent Technologies formally opened its global value centre (GVC) in Hyderabad and with it announced plans to hire at least 400 additional employees for the GVC by this year.

The company aims to scale this to more than 1,000 employees by 2025, Evergent said after Industries and IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu inaugurated the GVC on Tuesday (June 4, 2025).
The launch of the GVC syncs well with Telangana's vision to contribute $1 trillion to India's economy over next decade. Facilitating a shift from volume-led to value-led growth in tech industry will be one of the growth drivers, something that could be achieved by building capacity in high-impact areas like AI, semiconductors, defence, and deep-tech, the Minister said.
Setting up of such facilities marks a shift to building high-value IP and global products from Telangana, leveraging Hyderabad's deep tech talent and driving innovation at scale, a press release from the Minister's office on his speech said.
Under Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's leadership, Telangana has attracted investments worth ₹3 lakh crore over the past 18 months, he said. The focus is on making Telangana a hub for emerging technologies such as AI, ML and Quantum Computing.
Evergent CEO and founder Vijay Sajja said 'we have combined the best of Silicon Valley and India to build mission-critical, AI-driven SaaS solutions that power monetisation for global media giants. Hyderabad's exceptional engineering talent is at the core of our innovation...' he said.
The firm is developing proprietary intellectual property in Hyderabad that enables monetisation for global media giants such as the NBA, Sky, DirecTV, and SonyLIV across more than 180 countries. Its platform, entirely built in India, has helped onboard over 920 million subscribers worldwide on behalf of its clients, creating one of the largest datasets for AI-driven business intelligence.
