ABB on Wedneday opened its Global Business Service (GBS) centre in Bengaluru.

“The expansion demonstrates ABB’s confidence in the local talent pool to fuel growth and future opportunities in the country. When fully established in 2017, the centre is expected to employ over 1,000 people,” said Eric Elzvik, CFO and member of the Executive Committee of the ABB Group.

The new centre, a continuation of ABB Group’s consistent investments in the country, will be a part of its wholly owned subsidiary entity. It is also integral to ABB’s Next Level strategy and marks an important step towards building a latest business service organisation.

The centre was inaugurated by Eric Elzvik, CFO, ABB Group, with Sanjeev Sharma, CEO and Managing Director, ABB India.

“The opening of the GBS centre in India is a testimony to our commitment and confidence in partnering India’s growth story. India has always been a strategic market for ABB and this opening is an important milestone in making India a global hub for business services in the ABB Group. By simplifying and standardising our processes, we aim to increase our effectiveness and efficiency, as well as build new platforms for growth,” said Eric Elzvik.
