Samsung Marks 30 Years in India: CEO JB Park Highlights Evolution from Tech Consumer to Global Innovation Hub

Lucknow : Samsung South West Asia President and CEO JB Park announced that India has evolved from a consumer market into a global innovation powerhouse shaping the future of technology. Marking three decades since entering the country in 1995, the tech giant emphasized that India now engineers and creates solutions utilized worldwide.

Speaking on the 30-year milestone, Park noted that Samsung no longer views India merely as a 1.4-billion-person market, but as a region where technology is actively imagined, developed, and led. Over the past 30 years, Samsung expanded its local manufacturing capabilities, built strong research and design networks, and embedded itself in the national innovation ecosystem.

Key drivers of this transformation are Samsung’s research and development facilities in Bengaluru and Noida. Indian R&D teams collaborate with global networks to design intuitive, inclusive products tailored to the country's diverse demographics. These innovations frequently scale globally. Furthermore, Indian engineers are actively co-developing next-generation artificial intelligence experiences to solve practical, real-world issues.

Beyond hardware and software development, Samsung continues to focus on human capital through social impact initiatives:

• Samsung Innovation Campus: Equips youth with essential future-tech skills, including coding and artificial intelligence.
• Solve for Tomorrow: Operates as a nationwide innovation pipeline, providing mentorship and resources for young thinkers addressing community challenges.

Looking forward, Park reiterated that Samsung's legacy in India will not just be defined by devices or manufacturing footprints, but by the ideas, local talent, and potential it helps unleash to power global progress.
