In line with its commitment to hire 2,500 engineers for Research and Development in India, Samsung India on Wednesday said it is set to hire more than 1,200 engineers from top institutions like IITs and BITS Pilani this year to create a robust Research and Development pool for generating innovative ‘Make in India’ products for both the domestic and global markets.

The South Korean giant hired 1,000 engineers last year from top engineering colleges including IITs, NITs and IIIT, giving a thrust to New-Age domains like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), biometrics, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Augmented Reality (AR) and networks including 5G.

Samsung India has three Research and Development in the country, in Bengaluru, Noida and Delhi.

“In December 2017, we spoke about our commitment to hire 2,500 engineers in India by 2020. We hired 1,000 engineers in 2018 and are set to take 1,200 plus engineers on board in 2019. Samsung India is well on track to meet the commitment it made,” Sameer Wadhawan, Head, Human Resources (HR), Samsung India, told media.

“Overall we have more than 70,000 people working at present and if we talk specifically about Research and Development centres, we have close to 9,000 people working at our three Research and Development centres,” he added.
