IBM unveils new India Client Experience Centre in Mumbai
IBM announced the
opening of the company’s new IBM India Client Experience Center in Mumbai. As
part of the facility’s mission to support Indian enterprises’ use of AI, hybrid
cloud, and quantum computing, the company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI)
with the Government of Maharashtra to identify opportunities of support for the
state’s quantum initiatives. The LOI outlines areas of exploration that may
include providing insight, knowledge, and expertise the state may use to help
craft its own quantum initiative, and contributing to the development of the
state’s quantum ecosystem through workshops and other skills development
efforts.
Inaugurating the
center, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon’ble Chief
Minister of Maharashtra, said, "With AI, quantum computing, and
semiconductors, we are building a Viksit Maharashtra and Viksit Bharat. These
technologies can accelerate sustainability and efficiency across sectors,
creating new opportunities for growth and progress. Through our collaboration
with IBM, we will harness quantum innovation to transform lives, while building
a skilled talent pool to democratize its benefits and make them accessible to
every citizen of the state".
Hans
Dekkers, General Manager, IBM Asia Pacific, said, “IBM India Client Experience
Centre reinforces our commitment in helping advance India’s journey in AI,
hybrid cloud, and quantum computing. Our interest in helping the
Government of Maharashtra build their own vibrant quantum ecosystem exemplifies
our commitment.”
“IBM welcomes the
opportunity to engage with the Government of Maharashtra on advancing quantum
computing skills in the state, in alignment with the country’s National Quantum
Mission, and vision of Viksit Bharat,” said Sandip
Patel, Managing Director, IBM India and South Asia.
The IBM India
Experience Centre will be located in IBM India’s new offices in Mumbai,
and will serve as a dynamic space where IBM experts, clients, and partners will
collaborate to co-create solutions tailored to India’s unique business
challenges. It will also offer immersive experiences across IBM’s full
portfolio such as AI, including the watsonx platform, data and automation,
cybersecurity, hybrid cloud, and consulting-led transformation.
