Systra to set up 1,000-member advanced centre for digital design in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: Systra a multinational engineering and consulting group in the mobility sector will establish Systra Digital Centre (SDC) in Hyderabad to address wider digitalisation plans. An MoU was signed by the Telangana Government and Systra in Davos on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.

Minister for IT and Industries D Sridhar Babu, and Principal Secretary Jayesh Ranjan met with Pierre Verzat, CEO of Systra Group. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed and exchanged between the two parties symbolising Systra’s commitment to invest in the State.

The Government of Telangana would make the best use of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence in the IT sector and would like these advancements to also penetrate the core sectors of engineering thereby making them more efficient.

The main objective of SDC would be to develop digital tools for design production optimisation and efficient project management services. The problem of inefficiency arising from manual management of operations could only be solved through digitalisation.

The design automation would enable the industry to capture and re-use engineering knowledge and intent. Automation would not only help reduce errors and time spent on tedious, repetitive design tasks but it would also be scaled to streamline downstream development processes.

D Sridhar Babu said, “We welcome Systra to develop the Systra Digital Centre in the state that will employ over 1,000 young people over the next few years. Apart from employment, this establishment will also support the government in designing more efficient public services and engineering systems in the Government”.

Pierre Verzat, said, “Telangana is one of the best destinations for tech talent across the world. We are happy to be developing this advanced engineering centre in Hyderabad.”
