CMN Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: US Technology, a Kerala-based provider of end-to-end IT services for Fortune 500 companies, has finalized plans for a 36-acre campus near the Thiruvananthapuram Technopark.

According to the company, the upcoming campus will house triple the current number of IT professionals of over 4000 in number, making it one of the largest IT hubs for a single company in Kerala. The campus will feature a built up area of 16,00,000 square feet that will be rolled out in three phases, a source said. The company already boasts of a major presence in the Technopark campus.

According to a company official, the US Technology campus will stand out for its unique architectural style, ambient workspaces and eco-friendly operations. It will provide a serene information technology campus environment, complemented by landscaped courtyards and public spaces.

Spread across 36 acres, the US Technology Campus will feature ‘connected’ buildings that enable people to work together easily. Pavilions in the external environment will accommodate informal meeting and reflection spaces. It will be operated round-the- clock, 365 days a year. The campus is being designed to reflect the US Technology corporate culture, values, transparency, and world class standards, the official said.

Detailing the plans, Sajan Pillai, president and chief operating officer of the company, said, “the US Technology campus would represent our commitment to making Kerala a hub of IT services excellence. The new campus would be a centerpiece of our strategy providing a highly advanced work environment to be hyper competitive in global markets.”

The company, which puts into effect a hybrid global sourcing and delivery model to provide IT and business process outsourcing services through its facilities, is a fully-owned subsidiary of the US Technology Resources and is the largest software services company in Kerala.

Incidentally, Infosys had last week performed the groundbreaking ceremony of its proposed campus, which could seat 8000, in Thiruvananthapuram. The IT major had said that it would invest Rs 306 crore in Kerala.
