Unilever to Invest €35 Million in AI-Led Research Centres in Mumbai and Bengaluru
Published
Unilever, the British consumer goods company, has announced that it will invest 35 million euros in its research and development (R&D) centres in India. The company plans to change its facilities in Mumbai and Bengaluru into one integrated hub that focuses on artificial intelligence (AI). The investment shows how important India has become for global companies that want to develop new technology and products.
The main goal of the project is to use AI to make research faster and more efficient. Unilever makes many everyday products, such as soaps, shampoos, tea, and food items, so its scientists work on improving quality, developing new formulas, and understanding what customers want. By bringing its research teams together in one connected system, the company hopes to share data and ideas more easily between the two cities.
The decision also highlights the growing role of Indian engineers and scientists in global research. Mumbai and Bengaluru are already major centres for technology and innovation, and both cities have large pools of skilled workers. Experts say that investments like this can create new jobs and help India build stronger skills in AI and data science.
Unilever has not yet shared a full timeline for the project, but the company says the transformation will continue over the coming years. The move is part of a wider trend in which multinational companies are using AI to speed up their work and to create products that suit local and global markets.
