In line with its commitment to hire 2,500 engineers for R&D in India, Samsung India on Wednesday said it is set to hire more than 1,200 engineers from top institutions like IITs and BITS Pilani this year to create a robust R&D pool for generating innovative ‘Make in India’ products for both the domestic and global markets.
From over 1,200 plus people hired this year, over 340 joined the company through pre-placement offers (PPOs). According to Wadhawan, over 37 percent of the population in India is represented by millennials and the young workforce will further drive innovation. “We value their potential and help them identify and redefine their abilities. We believe in nurturing the talent. The focus is on the overall well-being and development of the young workforce”, he said.
