Karnataka: German Tech Giant Bosch To Invest Rs 800 Crore To Upgrade Its Bengaluru Facility

German technology giant Bosch group is going to invest Rs 800 crore to upgrade its existing campus in Bengaluru to a fully artificial intelligence of things (AIoT)-enabled 'smart campus', reports The Economic Times.

The 75-acre campus is expected to be inaugurated in June 2022, when the group completes 100 years of presence in India.

It will be the base of the group's various companies in India, including the home appliances, power tools, powertrains and automotive aftermarket divisions. Once completed, it could host around 10,000 software engineers.

"In the heart of the city of Bengaluru, housing one of the largest Bosch campuses in the world, this will be a testimony of our living as an AIoT company," he said.

"This is going to house, very likely, the second-highest number of Bosch employees in the world. Already we house more than 3,000 software engineers, which will go up to a lot more, maybe towards 10,000 by the time we finish all the building," he added.
