Best Buy Expands India Tech Hub Workforce by Over 40%

WHAT'S THE STORY?

What's Happening?

Best Buy plans to significantly increase its workforce at its India technology center, aiming to expand by more than 40%. The Bengaluru hub, established last year, currently employs around 350 professionals and is set to grow to between 500 and 550 employees. This expansion reflects the company's strategy to leverage India's growing tech talent pool, with recruitment focused on roles such as AI engineers, software engineers, and product managers.

Why It's Important?

The expansion underscores the evolving role of global capability centers (GCCs) from mere outsourcing units to integral parts of corporate operations, including research and development. By increasing its presence in India, Best Buy taps into a rich talent pool, potentially enhancing its technological capabilities and competitive edge. This move also highlights the broader trend of U.S. companies investing in international tech hubs to drive innovation and efficiency.
