The expansion, expected to be completed in 2-3 years, will create 5,000 direct and indirect jobs. This development further reinforces Telangana’s position as a key IT investment hub.
The partnership was reaffirmed during a meeting at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where Wipro’s Executive Chairman, Rishad Premji, met with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy Anumula and IT & Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu.

Minister Sridhar Babu highlighted Wipro’s contributions to workforce development and invited the company to collaborate on various skilling initiatives, including the Young India Skills University.
In another significant move, Telangana has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with JSW UAV Limited, a subsidiary of JSW Defence, to establish a state-of-the-art Unmanned Aerial Systems manufacturing facility. JSW UAV, in partnership with a leading US-based defence technology company, will invest approximately Rs 800 crore in the project. The facility is expected to create over 200 high-value jobs.
This initiative marks a key step in Telangana’s efforts to become a hub for advanced technology and defence innovation.
