- Multi-Function / Full-Stack GCC
India is Cyient's global headquarters and center of gravity: India accounts for roughly 13,000 of ~15,000 global associates across 8 delivery centers, spanning engineering R&D, digital engineering, semiconductor design, electronics manufacturing (Cyient DLM), and corporate/HQ functions.
Location rationale
Hyderabad is Cyient's founding home base and remains its global headquarters, reflecting deep roots in Telangana's engineering and IT talent pool. The company expanded to Bengaluru and Pune to tap those cities' large aerospace, automotive, and software engineering talent pools; India as a whole hosts the large majority of Cyient's global workforce and delivery centers.
