About General Motors Technical Centre India
General Motors Technical Centre India (GMTCI) in Bangalore has evolved significantly since 2003 from a software support centre into a genuine product engineering hub contributing to GM's most strategic programmes. With approximately 6,000 engineers, GMTCI works across vehicle software engineering, EV propulsion technology, ADAS algorithms, and connected vehicle platforms. The centre's most transformational recent shift has been the deep integration of India engineering into GM's Ultium EV platform development — the foundation of GM's electric vehicle future, powering the Blazer EV, Silverado EV, and Cadillac Lyriq.
The Ultium platform work at GMTCI includes embedded software for battery management, electric drive units, and vehicle energy management systems. ADAS engineering teams develop perception software for GM's Super Cruise and Ultra Cruise driver assistance features. An AI Centre of Excellence, launched in 2023, is working on generative AI applications for vehicle voice assistants, engineering design tools, and manufacturing quality analytics.
GMTCI targets 7,000 engineers by 2027, with the primary growth vectors being EV software, autonomous driving AI, and connected vehicle data platforms. The Prestige Shantiniketan campus in Whitefield provides a modern engineering environment, and GM's association with iconic American automotive brands and its EV transformation narrative helps attract engineering talent.
