Information technology major Tech Mahindra said it would hire 1,000 people in FY22-23 for its new campus in Tidel Park Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The hiring exercise will be part of the company's aim to tap local talent.

The new campus - spanning over 10,000 sq. ft. - will focus on building a next-generation technology hub in Coimbatore. It will deliver cutting-edge solutions for the company’s global customers in various industry segments such as automobile, banking, e-commerce, finance, and research & development.

“The campus will focus on developing new technology stack pertaining to intelligent automation, artificial intelligence/robotic process automation, full-stack development, customer experience (CX), and other next-gen application development and management skills (ADMS) skills," said Harshvendra Soin, global chief people officer marketing head at Tech Mahindra.

Soin believes the tier-II and tier-III cities are emerging as future talent hubs and have the potential to drive the next phase of growth.

“We are excited to inaugurate a new campus in Coimbatore and believe it will help us drive business growth in unexplored markets by providing a seamless customer experience," he added.

Thiru Thangam Thennarasu, Tamil Nadu's minister for industries department, said the launch of the campus in Coimbatore will pave the way for new employment opportunities for the youth of the city and work closer to their homes.
