Robotics company UiPath eyes headcount over 1,000 people in India

Robotics process automation (RPA) solutions firm UiPath aims to ramp up hiring in India this year to take its headcount to over 1,000 people in the country by the end of the year as it expands its operations in the country. The Romanian company, which was valued at USD 3 billion when it closed its series C funding of USD 225 million in September last year, counts entities like CapitalG (formerly Google Capital), Sequoia Capital and Accel among its investors.

“We have about 340 people in India across various functions, including R&D. We expect this to be northwards of 1,000 by the end of the year…We are also looking at strengthening our R&D operations here, tripling it from over 75 people right now,” UiPath India Chief Executive Officer Raghunath Subramanian told PTI.
