Centre for digital expertise and solutions to advance the digitization and transformation of bp

bp today announced setting up of a new Digital Hub that will create, grow and deliver a range of digital solutions to help transform bp’s core operations, extend its customer interfaces and support new and emerging business models.

 

Co-located within bp’s major global business services (GBS) operations centre in Pune, India, the Hub is expected to be operational by July 2021, with an initial headcount of up to 100 digital engineering, data, information security and design specialists.

We expect to attract the highest-calibre digital talent to our new Hub to help take on these important challenges.”


The Hub will focus on building an accessible talent ecosystem of digital expertise with cross-discipline, agile teams, that will scale up and evolve over time. The Hub will also partner and collaborate with other leading institutions, support start-ups and strategic organizations.


Sashi Mukundan, President, bp India and senior vice president, bp group commented: “Establishing the Digital Hub in Pune − which is one of India’s major technology centres− is an important step. Digital platforms and solutions driven by the Hub will support bp’s development of new businesses and integrated models. And co-locating the Hub withour Global Business Solutions Centre will further enhance integration and deliver synergies. “
