Cognizant Technology Solutions India has leased approximately 645,000 sq ft of office space at Embassy Splendid TechZone in Chennai's Pallavaram for five years, with a monthly rent of about ₹4.77 crore and a 15% rent escalation every three years. The lease covers 10 floors of Tower 3, with a security deposit of ₹28.64 crore.
