Ford Business Solutions (FBS), the technology and business services hub of Ford, announced on Thursday that it has expanded its presence in India with the launch of a new office in Bengaluru.
The new facility, an extension of its Global Capability Center (GCC) in Chennai, has a seating capacity of 350 employees and currently houses about 75 professionals. Over the next four years, FBS plans to hire 2,000 additional employees across India, further strengthening its workforce of 12,000 in the country.
“We predominantly opened the new office for high-tech, niche, and high-demand skills. We’re building more platforms that can support various digital capabilities – stuff around cybersecurity, DevSecOps, DevOps, and AI, all of which are in high demand,” said Mike Amend, chief enterprise technology officer at Ford.
FBS has been operating in India for over 25 years, initially starting with accounting services before expanding into technology, product development, manufacturing engineering, supply chain management, finance, HR, and marketing. The team in India supports Ford’s global operations across North America, Europe, and other geographies.
The Chennai GCC remains Ford’s largest tech hub in India, with nearly 50% of the company’s global enterprise tech team based there. Last year, FBS hired 1,050 employees in Chennai, primarily for enterprise technology roles. Currently, 40% of its workforce is engaged in tech-related functions, while another 30% focuses on product development and engineering, including manufacturing engineering.
With its latest expansion in Bengaluru, Ford Business Solutions aims to strengthen its digital and AI capabilities, further reinforcing India’s strategic role in the company’s global growth.
