Hitachi ‘imagining’ India as global hub for new age tech solutions, expects India operations to drive growth globally

Japanese conglomerate Hitachi is “imagining” India as a global hub in terms of new age technologies and solutions which will drive its businesses in the country as well as global markets, a top company official has said.

The company, which has augmented its capacities through a concerted approach in India, is now looking at the country to be a hub in many new segments, including technology, artificial intelligence, energy storage and fast charging or environmentally friendly solutions, according to Hitachi India Managing Director Bharat Kaushal.

Hitachi, which has a presence in infra, manufacturing and IT sectors among others, has now got a wider canvass to play in the country through its global acquisition such as the powergrid business of the Swedish-Swiss company ABB and Italian transport company Ansaldo STS.
