Nissan
currently has employability of 300 professionals, which will be ramped
up to 500 by the end of this financial year, and has plans to scale up
the employee strength to 1,500 in the next two years, according to the
company.
Inaugurating the facility, Chief Minister Pinarayi
Vijayan said: "Nissan coming to Thiruvananthapuram marks the beginning
of a new era for Kerala IT. We will do our best to ensure Kerala proves
to be Nissan's second home after Japan."
This centre at
Technopark will be the first of kind in a number of software and
information technology development centres in Asia, Europe North America
and Latin America.
The hub will allow Nissan to provide
application portfolio management, best-in-class user experiences,
product development capabilities, data science, cyber security and
connectivity as the automotive industry evolves, with growing use of
autonomous, connected and electric vehicle technology, a company
official said.
Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister of State
K.J. Alphons said the government of India is keen and proactive in
supporting investments in technology sector and that has contributed to
Nissan's decision to set up their first Global Digital Hub in India.
Kenji
Hiramatsu, Ambassador of Japan to India, said, "Japan-India relations
have never been as strong as they are today based on the trust between
our two prime ministers.
ace During Prime Minister Modi's visit
to Japan in October, both governments agreed on digital partnership and
the cooperation in the field of IT. I hope that this partnership helps
to drive forward the future of innovation, technology collaboration and
talent sharing between our two great nations." said Hiramatsu.
Thiruvananthapuram
Lok Sabha member Shashi Tharoor said he is happy that he could play an
early and useful role in convincing the Nissan management about the
advantages of opening the hub in Thiruvananthapuram, which is his
constituency.
"This hub will serve as an important engine to
drive Nissan's global digital transformation and we already have some of
the finest technology talent driving outcomes to serve our customers
around the world better," said Tony Thomas, Chief Information Officer at
Nissan.
