American firm Waters Corporation has inaugurated its new Global Capability Center (GCC), a strategic investment to accelerate technology adoption, innovation, digital transformation, and business efficiencies through a concentrated hub of talent that will operate across the Waters global enterprise.

Waters India GCC will employ 300+ for roles in software engineering, technology & product development, data analytics and IT.

The Waters India GCC is in a newly built facility in Bengaluru's RMZ Ecoworld technology park, a WELL and LEED Platinum-certified campus that exemplifies a commitment to a healthy and eco-conscious workspace. The new $16 million (Rs 1.3 Billion) workspace will employ 300+ for roles that were formerly outsourced to various outside service providers and will transform into an India-based global hub designed to in-source talent, accelerate technology adoption, and drive technological innovation.

"India continues to be one of our fastest growing markets and a key location for the talent that we need to drive global customer success and innovation forward," said Dr Udit Batra, President and CEO of Waters Corporation. "The Waters India GCC is an integrated extension of our global team, serving as a center of excellence across areas such as software engineering, technology and product development."

"Opening the Waters GCC is a significant milestone for our team in India. We chose Bengaluru because of the availability and depth of talent, the friendly business environment, and its close proximity to our customers," said T Anilkumar, General Manager of Waters India. "Our GCC in Bengaluru will allow us to access and develop exceptional talent within Waters to accelerate our technological capabilities, operational excellence and productivity in support of our customers in India and around the world."

For more than 60 years Waters has focused on improving human health and wellbeing around the world as a leading developer of scientific instruments, software, and chemistries.
