German software maker SAP on 5 August inaugurated a 41-acre India Innovation Park in Devanahalli, Bengaluru, committing more than €194 million to the project. The facility is SAP’s second campus in the city and will become the company’s second-largest research and development hub outside its Walldorf headquarters. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the state’s IT and Biotechnology Minister Priyank Kharge attended the opening, underscoring state support for the expansion. The first phase hosts 3,200 employees, with another 4,500 scheduled to relocate shortly. When fully built, the campus will be able to house about 14,000 people; phase two construction has been approved with completion targeted between the second and third quarters of 2028. SAP employs more than 17,000 people across Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi, representing over 40 percent of its global R&D workforce. The latest investment reinforces Bengaluru’s status as a preferred location for multinational technology firms expanding engineering and innovation operations in India.
