Mars has inaugurated its Global Capability Centre in Hyderabad in partnership with Genpact, starting with over 525 Genpact employees and planning to scale the centre to 1,000 Mars Associates in the coming years.
The centre was inaugurated on 12 November 2026 by Telangana IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu and occupies 60,000 sq. ft. of space, with another 70,000 sq. ft. earmarked for future expansion. Teams based at the facility will work across artificial intelligence, software and cloud engineering, automation, data and analytics, and other technology functions supporting Mars’s global operations.
“Many of us know Mars through brands like Snickers, M&M’s, Pedigree and Royal Canin. It is great to see a company with such a global presence choosing Hyderabad for its GCC,” Sridhar Babu said at the launch. “Congratulations to the Mars and Genpact teams. Wishing you all the very best for this new journey in Hyderabad.”
Mars is a privately held U.S. multinational known for confectionery brands such as Snickers, M&M’s and Milky Way; petcare brands including Pedigree, Whiskas and Royal Canin; and food brands such as Ben’s Original and Dolmio. Genpact, the former General Electric unit now headquartered in New York, is operating the Hyderabad centre as an innovation hub combining its process intelligence and agentic AI capabilities with Mars’s business functions.
The launch adds to a cluster of Genpact-linked GCC activity in Hyderabad. Earlier in the year, Genpact announced a separate partnership with Nestlé Business Solutions on 9 July 2026 to establish an AI-powered GCC for the Swiss food and beverage group in the same city. Hyderabad has emerged as a priority destination for consumer-goods multinationals building centralised technology and business-services arms in India.
