Spread over an area of 34,000 sq. ft, the office is styled to the themes of speed, passion and courage to celebrate the company's partnership with the UK-based Formula-One team, Virgin Racing. Mr Pillai said the company's offshore operations have always been centred around South Asia, which is a globally recognized hub of IT talent.

Mr Alexander Varghese, India Head of UST Global, said, “With our third, state-of-the-art facility becoming operational, UST Global is poised for a huge growth at Kochi.” The availability of a large talent pool of experienced and fresh talent, both in IT and BPO, makes Kochi a strategic location for UST. The expansion will elevate the Kochi centre from a spoke to hub in UST's hub-and-spoke model, enabling to grow further to other smaller locations around Kochi, Mr Sunil Balakrishnan, Kochi Center Head for UST Global, said. UST Global is also building a new flagship campus in the Thiruvananthapuram special economic zone, the first phase of which is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
