At VIRA, growth is about continuously strengthening how we collaborate, innovate, and serve our clients.

The new office reflects a strategic step in VIRA’s global journey and supports the company’s long-term vision of building a connected organization that brings together talent, expertise, and capabilities across regions.
Strengthening VIRA’s Global Capabilities
The Hyderabad Global Capability Center extends several of VIRA’s core departments—including IT, engineering, and operational support—working closely with colleagues in the United States and across the organization.
Through this model, teams collaborate across time zones and functions, participating in the same planning, decision-making, and execution rhythms that guide how VIRA operatesglobally. This approach strengthens knowledge sharing, accelerates delivery, and supports a more integrated way of solving complex challenges.
The Global Capability Center reflects VIRA Insight’s long-term approach to building a more integrated global operating model. By bringing together talent, technology expertise, and operational capabilities in Hyderabad, the GCC serves as a center of excellence that supports innovation, operational efficiency, and global collaboration across the organization.
The GCC also strengthens VIRA’s ability to advance engineering, data, and technology capabilities across the business—helping accelerate innovation, improve operational efficiency, and support complex global programs for clients.
The center has been built intentionally, with a strong focus on thoughtful hiring, onboarding, and deep integration into VIRA’s culture and ways of working. The result is a team that operates as a fully connected part of the broader organization.

The opening reflects VIRA Insight’s continued commitment to innovation, collaboration, and building a strong presence in India that supports the company’s global vision.
Looking Ahead
As VIRA continues to grow, the Hyderabad Global Capability Center will play an increasingly important role in strengthening the company’s global capabilities and operational excellence.
The GCC supports VIRA’s long-term vision of building a more connected and agile organization—one that brings together talent, perspectives, and expertise from across geographies to solve complex challenges and deliver meaningful outcomes for clients.
By integrating engineering, technology, data, and operational expertise across global teams, the Hyderabad GCC helps VIRA continue advancing how we design, build, and deliver retail experiences at scale.
