The company, which has already onboarded over 600 engineering and AI professionals in Hyderabad, plans to scale this up to over 1,000 employees by 2025 end.
Inaugurating the new GVC, IT & industries minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu said
Telangana
is ready to contribute $1 trillion to India's economy over the next decade.
'To achieve this, we must shift from volume-led to value-led growth, by building strengths in high-impact areas like AI, semiconductors, defence, and deep-tech. The launch of Evergent's GVC is a reflection of this vision and marks a shift towards building high-value IP and global products from Telangana by leveraging Hyderabad's deep tech talent and driving innovation at scale,' the minister said.
Evergent founder & CEO Vijay Sajja said though the company's global headquarters are in Sunnyvale, California, Hyderabad has been key to its success.
'We've combined the best of Silicon Valley and India to build mission-critical, AI-driven SaaS solutions that power monetisation for global media giants.

Joined in the morning, left by lunch: Delhi startup employee quits on first day, earns netizens' respect
A story about a new hire who quit his job on the very first day has resonated widely with corporate workers online. The incident took place at a Delhi-based startup, where the employee showed up for his first morning of work, stayed until lunch, and then quietly walked out, leaving his laptop behind. He never returned. According to a post on X by user '@Poan__Sapdi,' the man ignored repeated calls from the company before finally answering one from HR. His explanation was blunt: he simply couldn't work there. The post read: 'A friend told me about this guy who joined a startup here in Delhi. On his very first day, he left his laptop on his desk during lunch and just never came back. He ignored everyone's calls initially but later picked up HR's, and just said he cannot work there.' A friend told me about this guy who joined a startup here in Delhi. On his very first day, he left his laptop on his desk during lunch and just never came back. He ignored everyone's calls initially but later picked up HR's, and just said he cannot work there 😭 — Poan Sapdi (@Poan__Sapdi) August 19, 2025 The anecdote quickly went viral, sparking thousands of reactions and a wider conversation about work culture and burnout. Some shared their own short-lived job stints, while others praised the man for prioritising his peace of mind over a poor fit. 'That's wild but honestly not surprising,' one user commented. 'Startup culture can be overwhelming, and sometimes the fit just isn't right. It's important to trust your instincts about a workplace, even if it means walking away on day one. Have you ever felt that way about a job?' Another admitted, 'I left one of my jobs in a week, texted them on WhatsApp after taking a 'leave' for two days and then ghosted them.' A third user said, 'Well real heros wait for the salary day, and leave it once the salary is credited with proper KT folder in it (know someone who did this).' Others saw the move as bold, with one person writing, 'Everyone should have that courage to protect their mental peace.' Some even described the employee as the perfect example of Gen Z work philosophy. This isn't the first time such a story has gone viral. Recently, a LinkedIn post by an Indian HR professional described another unusual exit: an employee who resigned barely minutes after receiving their first salary. 'Salary credited at 10:00 AM, resignation emailed at 10:05 AM,' the HR wrote, adding that the HR and training teams were left baffled after investing so much effort into the new hire. The authenticity of both claims has not been independently verified by

Why can't US build 5-minute EV chargers?
China is dominating the electric vehicle market globally, accounting for more than 70 per cent of global manufacturing in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency. Its EV makers have pulled ahead of US car companies on price and technology. Case in point: the five-minute charger. This past spring, two major Chinese companies announced breakthroughs in battery technology that will enable electric vehicles to drive hundreds of miles on a five-minute charge. After traveling to China to test-drive new fast-charging cars sold by BYD, Patrick George, the editor-in-chief of InsideEVs, said Chinese models were "pretty much a generation or two ahead of the rest of the world." It's easy to imagine how five-minute charging might transform US drivers' attitudes toward electric vehicles. Widely available power sources and a charge time roughly the same length as a stop to fill up a gas tank would go a long way to alleviate the range anxiety many cite as a hurdle to going electric. But car buyers in the US aren't likely to get access to five-minute charging anytime soon, analysts say. Here's why. The Cars BYD's fast-charging system depends on two things: a vehicle capable of charging quickly, and a charger that can deliver power from the grid to match. BYD, which is now the world's largest producer of electric vehicles, has developed a battery that has a peak charging capacity of 1,000 kilowatts, also known as a megawatt. This peak rate can add enough charge in five minutes to drive for about 250 miles. Most EVs on the market in the US can charge at peak rates of 400 kilowatts or less. "This was a big leap, almost a tripling of others in the industry," said Ryan Fisher, head of charging infrastructure at BloombergNEF, a research firm. Fisher said that the car's price point in China of around $37,000 was also far lower than those of new fast-charging cars marketed elsewhere. A Tesla Cybertruck sold in the US starts at around $70,000. While other automakers may eventually figure out how to build megawatt charging systems, it won't happen overnight, Fisher said. Chinese companies have leaped ahead of the rest of the world in high-quality patents for many clean energy technologies, including batteries. Right now, very few Chinese-branded cars are sold in the US because of prohibitively high tariffs that President Donald Trump and his predecessor have put on Chinese EVs and other products. The Chargers BYD has promised to build 4,000 "megawatt flash charging" stations in China to support its new cars with 1,000-kilowatt charging capacity. Building these high-powered stations may be a smoother process in China. There, the government treats EV charging stations as crucial infrastructure, similar to how the US treats highway maintenance, said Bill Russo, founder and CEO of Automobility Ltd., a Shanghai-based consulting firm. "That allows them to build a high-power charging hub directly into the grid, sometimes even to high-voltage lines, bypassing a delay that would typically plague a local utility upgrade in the US ," Russo said. "Things just have a straighter-line path to getting done," he added. In the US, a Biden-era effort to speed the build-out of EV chargers was paused this year by the Trump administration and then reinstated this month. The Transportation Department has said it now plans to make it easier for states to use federal money to build EV chargers. Private companies are working to open new charging stations, too. BYD executives have talked about rolling out megawatt charging stations in Europe, where Chinese companies may be able to gain a toehold despite tariffs, Fisher said. Ionity, a company focused on fast charging, has said it will roll out megawatt-capable charging stations in Europe later this year, though the power will be split among a few parking stalls. What's Next It's unclear how much Trump's aggressive rollbacks of policies that support the EV industry will slow its growth in the US A $7,500 tax rebate for new EV purchases will expire next month, and the administration has challenged California's ability to mandate a transition away from the sales of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035. Without policies that support a transition away from combustion engines, domestic car companies are not incentivized to invest heavily in EVs, Russo said. In the long run, he said, a major factor in China's success today has been its upfront investment in its charging network. "The thing that I don't think we give them enough credit for," Russo said, "is they put all this investment in infrastructure before there was even a market for this stuff. Because they knew without the investment in infrastructure, there would never be a market."
