Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge CenterThe Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City is the largest new economy campus in India. A brainchild of Nita Ambani, President of the Dhirubhai Ambani Foundation, the Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City, or DAKC, is a world class campus that reflects a new age spirit in its layout, architecture and character. Set amidst a picturesque 140-acre plot in Navi Mumbai, DAKC is the heart of Reliance Infocomm Limited. DAKC houses the National Headquarters, Internet Data Centers, Call Centers, Applications Development Laboratories and the National Network Operations Centre of Reliance Infocomm. With 2.2 million sq. ft. of office space spread over 14 buildings, DAKC has a capacity to house 10,000 people. To address needs of this magnitude, DAKC is fully equipped with several food courts, all utilities, ATM machines and business centers. The architectural style adopted in DAKC is functional and elegant with extensive use of glass and granite for exteriors of buildings, interspersed with extensive landscaping to provide visual relief. Signage, reflecting the blue and green colours of Reliance Infocomm, complements the visual identity of the campus. Reliance Infocomm has a very young employee profile with an average age of 32 years. This aspect lends character and charm to DAKC and resonates the faith that Dhirubhai Ambani had in India's youth. The highlight as well as the nerve center of DAKC is a spectacular 110,000 sq. ft. National Network Operations Center (NNOC). From here the entire network of Reliance Infocomm, covering 60,000 kilometres of optic fibre that connects 90% of India's population and reaching 600 towns and cities, is monitored and controlled. The concept of one control center for an entire network is unique and is unprecedented in the world. Unlike most other network operations centers around the world, which are designed to support a specific product, service or geography, the NNOC of Reliance Infocomm is unique in the sense that it controls a range of products, services and geographies. The main control room with a seating capacity for 200, has two large video walls, each 100 feet long and with 80 screens each. A hanging bridge running across the control room is part of the visitors' experience and an integral part of NNOC. A picturesque lake on campus reflects the serenity of a temple on one side and the activity of the National Headquarters building on the opposite side. In a sense it contrasts the tradition with the modern. DAKC is a homage as well as a reflection of the vision, enterprise and creativity of Dhirubhai Ambani, one of the greatest sons that India has ever produced.
