Global energy company Chevron will set up the Chevron Engineering and Innovation Excellence Center (ENGINE) in Bengaluru at an investment of $1 billion spread over several years.

Chevron will hire talent with specialised skills to support projects across the company, encompassing both engineering and digital services, the company said in a statement.

Around 600 positions will be filled by the end of 2025, and more positions will be added over time, it added.

“Chevron ENGINE will create meaningful opportunities for local professionals to work on the incredible challenge of meeting the global energy demands of today and building the lower carbon energy system of tomorrow,” said Akshay Sahni, incoming Country Head, Chevron India.

Chevron produces crude oil and natural gas and manufactures transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and additives.

“Chevron ENGINE allows us to bring together India's vast pool of exceptional talent with resources and expertise from our global network to deliver affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy for a growing world," said Sahni.

Chevron joins the growing list of multinational companies that are expanding their technology operations in India and tapping into the talent pool in the country, through what are commonly referred to as 'global capability centres' (GCC).

According to a recent study by Nasscom, as of FY2023, India had over 1,580 GCCs, and several GCCs are added every quarter.

Nasscom also noted that access to a wide pool of digitally skilled talent, the drive to adopt new technologies, and the imperative to make greater customer impact are driving the growth of the GCC ecosystem in the country.

Over the next two-three years, the growth trajectory is expected to continue, with a growing number of global players across sectors establishing deep capabilities, building technology centres and transformation hubs, it added.
