Since its establishment in 2016, the Indian entity has become a critical part of innovation for the company across the globe, contributing across product development and customer programs in the areas of highly automated driving, car connectivity and security, and user experience.
The automotive software market is growing rapidly and exponentially, and industry experts conservatively estimate nearly 10 percent compound annual growth beween 2020 and 2030. With a global demand for Elektrobit software and services, we are focusing strongly on the growth opportunity that exists in India.

Satish Sundaresan, Vice President and Managing Director – Elektrobit India, said, “India is a very important market for us. We view our R&D engineering center in Bangalore as an automotive software hub from where we can also enhance our local customer business offerings. India is also looked at as an innovation partner for our product development activities for our global customers. Hence, we will continue investing in similar proportions and add headcount in India in the future too.”
