According to Satyakam Arya, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, DICV, “With the rapid growth of our shared services revenue stream, we are substantially increasing our significance in providing a broad portfolio of services to the international Daimler network and beyond.”
He added: “With our new Global Capability Centre, we look forward to attracting the best possible local talent and continuing to Make for the World.”
Multipurpose unit
Shared services refers to the various services DICV exports to other Daimler entities around the world, including IT, Cost Engineering, Supplier and Quality Management, R&D, Human Resources and Customer Service.
DICV, since commencing its service export business in 2012, has already delivered end-to-end solutions to more than 10 countries including the US, Germany and Japan. The Global Capability Centre was opened to meet the growing global demand for Indian-based services.
Placed conveniently close to public transport in the RMZ Milennia Park, the new office will be another strong draw for top talent looking to work for a MNC.
