KPIT Technologies has strengthened its presence in Southeast Asia with the launch of a new technology center in Hanoi and the signing of strategic partnerships with two of Vietnam’s leading universities. The expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s long-term growth strategy and reinforces its commitment to supporting the rapidly evolving global mobility industry.
The new facility will serve as a regional engineering and innovation hub, enabling KPIT to deliver advanced software and mobility solutions for automotive manufacturers across Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region. The company believes Vietnam’s growing automotive ecosystem, expanding engineering talent pool, and increasing investments by global vehicle manufacturers make the country an important destination for future mobility innovation.
The Hanoi technology center has already begun operations with a team of local engineers and is expected to create more than 100 additional high-skilled jobs in the near future. The expansion is designed to strengthen KPIT’s engineering capabilities while bringing the company closer to customers and partners in one of the world’s fastest-growing mobility markets.
To support long-term talent development, KPIT has entered into Memorandums of Understanding with Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) and VinUniversity. The collaborations aim to build stronger links between academia and industry by promoting research, skill development, internships, and career opportunities in next-generation mobility technologies.
The partnerships will focus on preparing students and young professionals for careers in software-defined vehicles, artificial intelligence, embedded software, and advanced automotive engineering. Through these initiatives, KPIT intends to contribute to the development of a highly skilled workforce capable of supporting the region’s growing mobility and technology sectors.
Commenting on the expansion, Sachin Tikekar, President and Joint Managing Director of KPIT Technologies, said Vietnam represents an important strategic market for the company because of its strong engineering talent, dynamic innovation ecosystem, and increasing investments by both domestic and international automotive manufacturers. He added that the new technology center and university collaborations demonstrate KPIT’s commitment to creating employment opportunities, nurturing local talent, and establishing a long-term presence in Southeast Asia.
With more than 25 years of experience in the mobility sector, KPIT has built deep expertise in developing software solutions that power next-generation vehicles. The company has contributed to over 2,000 vehicle production programs globally, with its software currently supporting more than 20 million vehicles on the road.
