The name change complements the company’s hiring strategy to recruit best-in-class talent from premier universities in the areas of AI, ML, Cybersecurity, Computer Vision and other new age technologies. In line with that, the company is looking to hire 5500+ engineers in 2022. The company is also expanding to new locations with a new center slated to be inaugurated in Hyderabad, Pune in India and Hanoi in Vietnam later in the year.

The company is looking to strengthen its innovation focus and R&D capabilities. Steady initiatives and investments are being made in various technologies in the connected products, connected industry, mobility and connected enterprise domains. Recently inaugurated state-of-the-art Hacker’s Garage, the IoT Garage and an internal ‘innovation’ fund are introduced to promote an environment where promising ideas can be nurtured and incubated. These centres will also be a collaborative ecosystem for Start-ups, external companies and academia to participate in an environment of co-creation and co-innovation.

On the name change, Dattatri Salagame, CEO, President and Managing Director, Bosch Global Software Technologies said, "We have been a software company since inception and this name change is an emphatic commitment to strengthen our best-in-class software engineering to lead in this #techade. Digital Natives of today consume an experience and software drives the differentiation in that experience. At Bosch Global Software Technologies, we want to provide an environment which is conducive to create, innovate and experiment to solve important customer problems using technology and win more for Bosch.
