India — Swiss healthcare major Roche is expanding its technology footprint in India with the launch of a second Digital Technology Hub in Hyderabad, with operations expected to commence in the first quarter of 2027.
The new facility will strengthen Roche’s global digital and technology operations by expanding its life sciences and digital capabilities while supporting the development of enterprise technology solutions and healthcare-focused digital innovation initiatives.
