Why German Companies Drive Innovation From India

German MNCs/SMEs drive innovation from India.

How? Do you see your company among them?

German firms aren’t outsourcing, but embedding India at the core of product, R&D, and innovation strategy.

Zinnov's recent report in collaboration with the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce covers the reasons why:

➡️ Talent availability: Bangalore and Pune host ~80% of AI/ML talent supporting Germany GCCs.
➡️ Strong ecosystems: 57% of German GCCs partner with Indian universities and startups to build next-gen capabilities.
➡️ Market access: India is the fastest growing major economy and soon 3rd largest globally.

We see a growing demand across all sectors. US companies have leveraged India’s talent and ecosystems for decades and developed leading cutting-edge technology from there, followed by UK companies as second largest cohort.

I see clear synergies for German businesses and large opportunities to accelerate the development and implementation in leading technologies, all while unlocking a stable and growing Indian market!

Now is the right time to take a closer look, especially with the EU-India FTA being concluded soon.
