Workato Opens Hyderabad AI Hub to Co-Build Agentic AI With Customers

• Workato opened its Hyderabad AI hub on Monday, the company’s third AI Collaboration Hub, joining existing hubs in San Francisco and Singapore.
• The site at Aurobindo Orbit in Hyderabad Knowledge City pairs collaboration zones and hot-desking with hands-on build labs where customers, GSI partners, and Workato engineers build agentic AI together.
• Workato has operated in India since 2022 and now employs more than 200 people across Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai.

Workato opened its Hyderabad AI hub on August 10, the company’s third AI Collaboration Hub, joining existing hubs in San Francisco and Singapore. The company said the space brings customers, global system integrator partners, developers, and its own engineers into the same room to co-design, build, and ship agentic AI solutions.

The facility sits at Aurobindo Orbit in Hyderabad Knowledge City, HITEC City, and centers on the Enterprise AI Collaboration Centre. Workato said the hub pairs collaboration zones and hot-desking with hands-on build labs, so that an idea started on a whiteboard on Monday can run as an agentic workflow against a customer’s real systems by Friday.

“The hard part of enterprise AI was never the model; it’s making AI work within real companies, with their enterprise systems, data, and compliance realities,” said Vijay Tella, CEO and co-founder of Workato.

Why the Workato Hyderabad AI Hub Opens Now

Workato framed the launch around the gap between prototypes and production. Citing McKinsey & Company, the company said nearly 80% of organizations report no tangible business impact from generative AI, and attributed that gap to the last mile of connecting AI to aging ERP systems, regulated data, and multi-cloud infrastructure with governance strong enough to run safely at scale.

On the choice of location, Workato cited Stanford’s 2026 AI Index Report, saying India is the second-largest contributor to global GitHub AI activity at nearly 20% of all AI development, and that India and the United States together account for over half the world’s AI workforce. The company argued that the deciding factor is depth, with local engineers working across model architecture, enterprise systems design, and the governance layer that makes AI deployable. Workato said Hyderabad holds a uniquely dense concentration of that talent.

Workato established its India operations in 2022 and has grown to more than 200 employees across Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai, with the country playing a growing role in its global engineering and AI roadmap.

What Customers and Partners Get

For customers, Workato said the hub replaces document exchanges and roadmap waits with real-time co-engineering against their own systems. For GSI partners, the company positioned it as a place to co-create repeatable agentic solutions and bring joint offerings to market faster.

“Having our architects and Workato’s engineers co-building in the same room, against a customer’s real environment, cuts months out of the path from idea to deployed agentic workflow,” said Gopikrishnan Konnanath, Global Head of Digital Enterprise Applications at Tech Mahindra. Sameer Dixit, Corporate VP for Data, Integration and AI at Persistent Systems, said the hub gives teams a space to jointly design and accelerate production-ready AI solutions.

Workato describes itself as a control and execution platform for enterprise AI, built on more than a decade of running processes for over half the Fortune 500, and covering more than 14,000 enterprise systems as a single governed execution layer.
