Samsung completes 30 years in India, says country is now shaping global technology
Samsung has completed 30 years in India, with the company saying the country has evolved from a market for global technologies into a key hub for developing products and innovations for the world.
Samsung South West Asia President and CEO JB Park said India is no longer viewed only as a market of 1.4 billion people, but as a place where the future of technology is being imagined, developed, and led.
“What inspires me most about India is that it constantly exceeds expectations,” Park said. “We see India as a place where the future of technology is being imagined, developed and led.”

Samsung entered India in 1995 and has since expanded its manufacturing operations while strengthening its research, design and innovation capabilities in the country. Its R&D centres in Bengaluru and Noida now work with Samsung’s global research network on products and technologies for both Indian and international markets.
Park said India’s scale and diversity are also influencing how Samsung develops technology. The company is working on AI-powered experiences with its global teams, with a focus on addressing real-world problems.
“AI will only be meaningful if it solves real problems for real people,” Park said, adding that India provides an important environment for developing such solutions.
Samsung has also increased its focus on developing local talent through initiatives such as Samsung Innovation Campus and Solve for Tomorrow. The former provides young people with skills in areas including AI and coding, while Solve for Tomorrow supports young innovators with mentorship and resources to develop solutions to real-world challenges.
As Samsung looks ahead to its next phase in India, Park said the company wants to contribute to innovations that can have a global impact.
“I believe it will be defined by the dreams we helped unlock,” Park said, referring to Samsung’s legacy in India.
