GE plans to invest $60 m in Bangalore tech centre

Locally-engineered products such as wind turbines, arc circuit breakers, portable electrocardiograms and infant care products currently contribute to about 10% of GE's revenue from India, Gopichand Katragadda, managing director, GE India Technology Centre, said on Thursday.

“At this point, we are between 10%-15% in terms of the number of people working on India-specific programmes and we have about 30 products developed for the India market,” he said. “The goal is that we will be adding to that portfolio in the near future, targetting 60 products and getting to about 20% of the workforce contributing to India-specific programmes,” he said.
