SAP India to complete hiring of 1,600 people by year end

BENGALURU: SAP India is on track to achieve its hiring target of 1,600 this year, majority of whom will be taken on board for its research and development (R&D) division – SAP Labs. India is one of the fastest growing markets for the German technology major, with about 13,000 employees out of its total headcount of 101,150.

“Of the total hiring target, we have already onboarded about 1,100 of them and the remaining 500 open positions will be filled by end of this year,” Sindhu Gangadharan, senior vice president and managing director, SAP Labs India, said in an interview.

SAP India’s hiring comes at a time when many IT companies have deferred their recruitment plans, given the challenges arising out of the covid-19 pandemic.
