T-Mobile opened a technology centre of about 250,000 sq ft in Hyderabad on June 4, 2026. Telangana’s IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu inaugurated the site, which is run by the company’s Indian affiliate, TMUS Global Solutions. The company aims to grow the team to nearly 1,000 people by 2027.
T-Mobile US is one of the largest wireless carriers in the United States, serving more than 140 million customers, and it had about 70,000 employees at the end of 2024. Over the past year it has restructured parts of its US workforce, partly after buying UScellular, while saying it continues to recruit in areas it sees as strategic.
What the centre will do
The centre focuses on software engineering, DevOps and platform operations, product development, data analytics and cybersecurity. Open roles have included AI engineers, data and systems architects and DevOps managers. The company has said the group supports T-Mobile’s internal technology and engineering functions and does not handle customer service. Chandra Gupta, vice president of IT operations at TMUS Global Solutions, leads the work on the ground.
Why Hyderabad
Gupta pointed to the city’s technology talent, its capacity for innovation and an established ecosystem of capability centres as the reasons for the choice. Hyderabad has become one of the largest destinations for such centres in India, and the Telangana government has courted them actively, with senior state officials attending the opening. The existing team was already based in Telangana, which made the city the natural place to consolidate. Our list of GCCs in Hyderabad tracks the wider cluster.
T-Mobile’s India footprint
T-Mobile is not new to India. TMUS Global Solutions was set up in October 2025 to bring onto its own payroll the long term contractors and vendor staff who had been supporting T-Mobile’s technology development. In 2025 the company converted that existing team into employees, and it has described the Hyderabad opening as a move of its Telangana teams into a new, larger location rather than a fresh entry. The June opening therefore marks a step up in scale for an operation that was already running.
What it signals
The shift from vendor teams to a captive centre is a pattern seen across US companies that want tighter control over engineering, data and security work. That T-Mobile made the change while cutting jobs at home shows how cost and capability pressures are pushing more core technology work to India. For Hyderabad, it adds a large US telecom name to a cluster long dominated by technology, banking and pharma centres.
