Thales is expanding its workforce in India as part of a global plan to hire over 9,000 employees, focusing on hardware, software, and systems specialists at its Bengaluru and Noida centres. Approximately 40% of roles will be in engineering, while 25% will be in industry positions.

In 2024, Thales reported €20.6 billion in sales and employed over 83,000 people globally. Other companies like RTX and Safran are also increasing their workforce in India. Despite this growth, some firms, including Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, have seen workforce reductions due to automation. The overall hiring trend aligns with India's expanding defense and high-tech manufacturing sectors.
