New Delhi, September 8, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Samsung sees India evolving from a major consumer market into a global hub for technology development and innovation, with the company aiming to help the country shape the next generation of technologies, Samsung South West Asia President and CEO JB Park said as the company marks 30 years of operations in India.
Park said India had moved beyond being a market where global technologies were introduced and had emerged as a country where technologies are being imagined, engineered and developed for users worldwide.
“What inspires me most about India is that it constantly exceeds expectations,” Park said. He added that Samsung now views India not merely as a market of 1.4 billion people but as a place where the future of technology is being imagined, developed and led.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a major focus of Samsung’s innovation efforts in India. Engineers based in the country are working with the company’s global teams on next-generation AI experiences.
“AI will only be meaningful if it solves real problems for real people. And, there are few places that challenge us to do that better than India,” Park said.
Samsung’s research and development teams in Bengaluru and Noida work alongside the company’s global R&D network, contributing to technologies and products designed both for India and international markets.
Park said India’s scale, diversity and rapidly changing technology landscape require solutions that are intuitive, inclusive and relevant to people with varied needs. Innovations developed to address those challenges can subsequently benefit consumers in other markets, he added.
Samsung’s India investments have expanded beyond manufacturing and R&D to include talent development, skills, education and innovation initiatives.
“Technology does not create progress on its own. People do,” Park said, describing human potential as the company’s most important technology platform.
He said young Indians were increasingly using technology to address pressing social challenges, calling this the kind of innovation the country would need both now and in the future.
As Samsung completes three decades in India, Park said the company’s legacy should be measured not only by its products, manufacturing ecosystem and research capabilities, but also by the people and ideas it has helped nurture.
