Bengaluru, June 29 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to formally unveil Bosch
India's second largest global smart campus outside Europe at Adugodi near here on Thursday
to mark the German company's 100 years legacy in India, which began exactly in 1922 in
Kolkata.
While the Prime Minister, who returned from Germany this week, would open the sprawling
campus virtually, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Somappa Bommai is expected to grace
the inauguration physically in presence of company Managing Director Saumitra Bhattacharya
and Filiz Albrecht , the member of company's board management, sources said on Wednesday.
Bosch India's Adugodi campus is considered to be the largest outside Europe on a 75 acre land where some Rs 800 crore was being invested by the company to make the smartest campus in
the globe.
With a journey of 100 years in India, Bosch India stood tall and turned out to be the leading
supplier of technology and services in the areas of Mobility Solutions, Industrial Technology, Consumer Goods and Energy and Building Technology.
Additionally, Bosch India is the largest development center outside Germany for end to end engineering and technology solutions.
In India, Bosch set up its first sales agency in 1922 in Calcutta (Now Kolkata) and started its manufacturing operation at Bangalore in 1952 (now Bengaluru ) and since then the German
company has grown over the years to include 18 manufacturing sites and seven development
and application centers across India.
The state of art campus, expected to house some 10,000 engineers and technocrats, could be
the second highest in the number of its employees in the globe to showcase its R&D capabilities
in both automotive and non-automotive products and services.
The new centre in phases will be transformed into a fully artificial intelligence of things enabling a smart campus to mark its century old legacy in India.
