The cutting-edge center, spread across the top two floors of Kalyani Trident, features advanced workstations, dynamic collaboration spaces, and training facilities aimed at fostering creativity, teamwork, and professional growth. A history wall celebrating The Hartford’s more than 200-year legacy adds a heritage touch to the modern workspace.
“The true strength of The Hartford has always been its people,” said Shekar Pannala, Chief Information Officer at The Hartford. “This Hyderabad center not only enhances our AI and digital capabilities but also positions India as a hub for engineering excellence and innovation at scale.”
