Providence India, a global healthcare engineering, operations, and innovation center, has opened a new office in Hyderabad. The company has also announced plans to double its workforce in India to meet the growing demand for tech-enabled healthcare. The inauguration of the new office was attended by several dignitaries and industry leaders, including Hon’ble I.T. Minister D Sridhar Babu, US Consul General – Hyderabad Jennifer Larson, Providence President and CEO Rod Hochman, M.D., Providence CIO B.J. Moore, and chief global officer Murali Krishna.

Providence India was established in February 2020 by Providence, a leading not-for-profit U.S. health system. Its mission is to accelerate Providence's digital transformation journey through a global capability model and run Providence's business at scale.

In just three years, Providence, India, has become an international health-tech innovation center with 1,400 highly specialized technology, operations, and healthcare domain experts, 37% of whom are women. Their work has helped Providence complete approximately ten years of complex transformation programs in just three years and accelerate the shift toward value-based care.

Providence is now leveraging its global capability model and expanding its scope and strategy to help multiple U.S. health systems unlock value by accelerating digital transformation. The company uses emerging cutting-edge technologies such as Generative AI, predictive analytics, Cloud solutions, Process Automation, and global coverage.

Speaking about the occasion, Providence President and CEO Rod Hochman said, "Providence serves at the intersection of innovation and compassion. The India team has played a catalytic role in helping us embrace healthcare technology to support nurses, physicians, and all caregivers, improve patient outcomes and experiences, and offer affordable and accessible care in our Mission to serve all. 

Having laid the foundation for rapid A.I. innovation, we are excited to see the potential of advanced technology in transforming the way healthcare is delivered and experienced. Our caregivers are advancing science to establish world-class treatment protocols, and our engineers are reimagining how tech can make care more human and personalized.
