German Automotive & Technology Leader

Setting the Stage

A global automotive and consulting powerhouse, the client is renowned for driving digital transformation across the mobility, manufacturing, and smart enterprise sectors.

‍

‍

With a mission to embed engineering excellence into every layer of its operations, the company set out to establish a high-impact technology and consulting hub in Bangalore, India - one that would deliver critical digital solutions, at scale, for its global clientele.

The Business Challenge

The client's goal was to build a future-ready digital backbone - blending advanced engineering, process consulting, and software product development. The challenge wasn't just hiring for niche roles; it was about creating an India-based center that could think, design, and deliver like Germany.

Roles required a rare blend of:

Automotive engineering knowledge paired with deep tech experience 

Expertise in data platforms, full-stack development, DevOps, and cloud-native systems 

Ability to work on simulation frameworks, ECU integration, and end-to-end product lifecycle support 

Understanding of regulated environments, safety-critical systems, and OEM supplier ecosystems 

Seamless collaboration with German-speaking, precision-oriented global teams 

This was more than hiring - it was digital muscle- building, from the ground up. 

Transformation in Action

Prioritising culture-fit and system-level thinking, not just technical skills 

Facilitating fast ramp-ups while maintaining enterprise-grade quality, compliance, and delivery velocity
