Modern workspaces and holistic training opportunities are provided for ensuring the centre integrates well into HCLTech's global network.

Mr. Nitish Mishra further added that this HCLTech Investment would prove to be a stimulant for the IT sector in Bihar only if it was huge in terms of employment opportunities and inspiring industry investments.
