SAP CEO Christian Klein announced that the company plans to make substantial investments and increase hiring in India over the coming years. During SAP’s executive and supervisory board visit to Bengaluru, Klein emphasized that India, one of SAP’s top 10 markets, is experiencing the fastest growth among its global markets and is expected to climb even higher in significance.
Acknowledging India’s rapid growth, Klein stated that a large portion of SAP’s R&D and operational investments will be directed toward the country, though he did not specify an amount. He clarified that while SAP continues to invest in Germany, India will receive a larger share of investment relative to other regions.
India is already home to SAP’s largest lab, and Klein noted that the company plans to “over proportionally” increase hiring in India compared to other SAP labs worldwide. This strategic focus underscores India’s growing importance in SAP’s global operations and expansion plans.
