It is a global hub for software catering to customers and partners across geographies and industries, the company said in a release on February 10. It has delivery and sales networks in several global locations, including India, Mexico, Vietnam, North America, Japan, Germany, and the Middle East.

Rama Rao, after which the latter tweeted. “Bosch in Hyderabad!” exclaims the narrator. With its Bosch Global Software Technologies and R&D presence in Hyderabad, Bosch, a German MNC and a world leader in mobility, industrial engineering, and home appliances, has chosen Hyderabad as a key location.”
Bosch plans to use Hyderabad’s dynamic software ecosystem to gain access to world-class talent, develop expertise and centres of excellence in new emerging technologies, and strengthen its global delivery network by leveraging local leadership.
CoEs working on the application of electronics and computation to domain challenges such as autonomous driving, vehicle computing, gateways, V2X connection, electrification, and safety will be housed in our new Hyderabad centre.
