Expected to open in early 2025, the centre aims to enhance Marriott's technology infrastructure and global operations. To achieve this, the Marriott Tech Accelerator in Hyderabad will leverage the city’s robust tech talent to bolster the firm’s engineering capacity and security operations.
The announcement was made in the presence of Drew Pinto, executive vice president and chief revenue and technology officer, accompanied by key figures, including Naveen Manga, global chief technology officer, and John Toomey, chief sales and marketing officer, Asia Pacific.
“We have chosen to establish the Marriott Tech Accelerator in Hyderabad, India because of its world-class talent and strong reputation as a major IT hub in India,” said Pinto.
We are tremendously proud of our 25 years of doing business in India,” said Ranju Alex, area vice president, South Asia, Marriott International.
