The Gothenburg center, KPIT's first in the Nordics, will help it collaborate with Swedish and European OEMS and tap into local talent.

Sachin Tikekar, President & Joint MD, KPIT Technologies, said, “Our vision is to reimagine mobility for a cleaner, smarter and safer world. Sweden is a powerhouse of innovation, especially around safe and sustainable mobility, with Gothenburg at its epicenter. We are excited to work with local talent, harness Sweden’s focus on technology and green transition, and co-develop solutions for challenges of mobility OEMS globally.”

KPIT's entry into Sweden strengthens its European footprint and complements its operations in Germany, the UK, France, Italy, while also enhancing its global delivery network that spans the US, Japan, China and Thailand, India and Tunisia.

Recently, the Pune-headquartered firm also expanded its operations in China, with the acquisition of Caresoft Global's engineering solutions business for $191 million. This will help KPIT to deepen its focus on the commercial vehicle segment and expand presence in China as Caresoft has a strong foothold there.
