Optics firm Zeiss inaugurated its 43,000 sq ft Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru on November 11 to tap into India’s tech talent and expand its R&D capabilities.
The Germany-based company plans to hire over 600 employees initially, doubling the workforce by 2028. The facility will focus on medical technologies, vision care, AI, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions.
Zeiss also inked an R&D partnership with the Karnataka government to boost emerging technologies and enhance rural eyecare through its Aloka Vision Program. Karnataka’s IT minister hailed Zeiss’ growth as a testament to India’s global investment appeal.
