Strategic Expansion into India’s Leading Tech Hub

In September 2023, KBR took a strategic leap by establishing its Bengaluru office in the heart of India’s tech ecosystem with just 30 employees. Initially designed to house over 100 personnel, the office served as a gateway to the local talent pool and reflected KBR’s commitment to building a robust presence in a global tech hub. One year on, the Bengaluru team has flourished, growing to 160 employees — a testament to KBR’s successful growth trajectory and vision for the region.

From Local to Global: A Hub for Strategic Operations

The Bengaluru office is more than just a branch; it has quickly evolved into a vital center for KBR’s One India operations. Currently supporting around 30 projects across various disciplines, the team’s expertise has made it a key contributor to KBR’s global strategy. With a strong focus on project delivery, the Bengaluru team plays an instrumental role in turning local insights into global solutions, enhancing KBR’s impact and reach.

Diversity and Growth: A Vision for the Future

One of the most noteworthy achievements of the Bengaluru office is its commitment to diversity, boasting a current diversity ratio of 32%, which surpasses the company’s target of 28%. This success demonstrates KBR’s dedication to building an inclusive environment that harnesses diverse perspectives. With plans to reach 200 employees by the end of 2024 and a long-term goal of 350 by 2025, KBR Bengaluru is set to expand further, strengthen local client relationships, and establish itself as a powerhouse for direct project delivery.

Within a year of its launch, KBR's Bengaluru office has laid a solid foundation for sustainable growth. Looking ahead, the team is well-positioned to meet the challenges of tomorrow while continuing to drive innovation and excellence. With a focus on strategic expansion and building a diverse workforce, KBR is poised for continued success in the region and beyond.
