Octave Intelligence has opened a 2-lakh-sq-ft global technology and innovation center in Hyderabad, marking its largest office worldwide. The facility, located in HITEC City, aims to enhance the company’s software engineering, AI, and product development capabilities.1

With plans to hire 2,000 engineers, Octave is betting on India’s burgeoning market for mission-critical infrastructure software. Currently, the company employs about 1,700 people in India, and the new center is expected to play a pivotal role in product-led growth.3

“Hyderabad would be central to that product-led growth,” said Scott Moore, Global COO of Octave. The center will focus on developing existing products into SaaS offerings and creating new solutions. Benjamin Maslen, CFO, noted that India is one of the company’s largest and fastest-growing markets in Asia, with a significant addressable market in sectors like metros, railroads, power plants, data centers, and space-tech.4

The facility was inaugurated by Telangana IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu and Octave CEO Mattias Stenberg, who emphasized the importance of Hyderabad’s engineering talent and technology ecosystem. “Our centre represents more than an expansion of our physical presence—it is an investment in our people and in the capabilities that will help shape Octave’s future,” Stenberg stated.89

Octave serves around 4,500 customers across 180 countries, with over 60% of the Global Fortune 500 among its clientele. The Hyderabad teams will work on technologies that enhance operational data management and leverage AI for improved reliability and decision-making.6710
