Last week, nearly 4,000 engineers from around the world spent 24 hours developing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions during the inaugural L&T Technology Services (LTTS) Engineering Intelligence Hackathon.
Across seven locations including the Plano office, 770 teams aimed to solve real-world challenges across product design, development, operations and digital transformation.
The winning team created a self-hosted large language model running on LTTS infrastructure. LTTS leaders said the event also showcased Plano’s growing importance within the company’s global engineering network. The Plano office employs nearly 300 people.
“North Texas has become one of the most dynamic engineering corridors in the country, and our Plano expansion reflects that momentum,” said Bhanu Gopalam, Chief Delivery Officer and Head of Corporate Strategy at LTTS and head of the Plano innovation center. “The Engineering Intelligence Hackathon showcased the depth of talent and creativity across our global teams, and Plano is now a critical hub in advancing these AI-native solutions.”
“The future of engineering will be defined by AI-driven intelligence, and this hackathon demonstrates how rapidly that future is taking shape,” Gopalam said. “What excites us most is the role Plano will play in that transformation. With a fast-growing team, strong university partnerships and rising demand for digital engineering, Plano is positioned to become one of LTTS’ most influential innovation centers.”
