      Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) India has disclosed its plans to set up a Global Digital Hub in the City of Hyderabad, India. With this initiative, the car manufacturer will invest $150 million on building and developing the facility adopting emerging technology and digitalising all its nationwide operations.

      The digital hub named as ICT India, will be the brand’s largest such centre outside of North America and EMEA region. It aims on recruiting 1,000 new employees by the end of the year 2021 and focus on building strategic powers in technology areas such as connected vehicle programs, artificial intelligence, data accelerators, and cloud technologies.

      With the addition of this new facility, FCA intends to widen its footprint in the country. It already has its headquarters in Mumbai which employs over 3,000 employees whereas the company’s engineering and product development operations are located in Pune and Chennai. The Ranjangaon production plant is the only unit to manufacture the right-hand drive mid-size SUV – Jeep Compass which is exported to 13 international markets worldwide.

      Karim Lalani, Director and Head of FCA ICT India said, “We are also aggressively hiring, and the response has been overwhelming. I am excited to see the new ideas and technologies our talented engineers and data scientists will develop for our customers. We foresee our Global Digital Hub driving innovation in multiple areas, including customer safety, connected mobility and digital showroom experience. We are excited to build a truly pioneering, global digital hub that will strengthen FCA’s position as a global mobility leader.”

      Dr. Partha Datta, President and Managing Director, FCA India said, “FCA ICT India will be our technology backbone that will not only help us develop products for future mobility but will also sharpen our efforts to enhance customer-centricity. This is a significant step forward in realizing our vision to make our Indian operations more capable to develop digitally-driven products and technologies locally for India and also for the world.”
