Bosch, the German-based multinational engineering and automotive technology firm, chose India to set up its largest technology center outside of Germany a quarter century ago. Today, with its headquarters in Bengaluru, Bosch's technology wing renamed itself from Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions (RBEI) to Bosch Global Software Technologies (BGSW).
"Our work involves the application of electronics and computation to solve domain problems," Dattatri Salagame, CEO, president and MD, BGSW was quoted in The Hindu as saying. For example, in mobility — autonomous driving, vehicle computing, gateways, V2X (vehicle-to-anything) —, connectivity, electrification and safety are some of the most challenging problems that our engineers work on. In healthcare, BGSW is focused on products, solutions to bring detection of anomalies in blood anatomy, hemoglobin-based sensing in a digital non-invasive way using computer vision and allied data technologies. There are similar opportunities that we work on in energy, enterprise digitalization and other domains.
Hiring Plans
We will be hiring around 5,500 professionals in 2022, to add to our existing employee base of 25, 000. We are scouting for talent that have a deep understanding of technology and an ability to solve real-time problems. Hence, we are looking at capabilities in Data science, AI, Cybersecurity, Mechatronics, Robotics, Edge computing, Hyperscale Cloud development/deployment and full stack IoT to name a few. We would also be hiring experts with deep domain and systems knowledge, especially in mobility. BGSW would play a major role in digital transformation of Bosch globally and hence, we would be keen to engage talent with proven enterprise digital-transformation competencies.
Expansion
In India, we are expanding beyond Coimbatore and Bengaluru to include Hyderabad and Pune which will be operational in mid-2022. To start with, we will be hiring around 1,000 professionals this year for these two new centres and ramp up these to 5,000 professionals by 2025. We are planning to expand our footprint to North and East India as well. Also, we are opening a new centre in North Vietnam at Hanoi and looking at hiring 400 people this year. We are incubating a centre in Poland. We will also be continuing to expand client-facing roles in the U.S and Japan.
