Deliveroo, a global food delivery company, announced the launch of its India Engineering Centre in Hyderabad, India.
Deliveroo’s engineering team will be focused on delivering better experiences for Deliveroo customers, restaurant and grocery partners and delivery riders, and building highly scalable, reliable and innovative next-generation products for its worldwide operations.
The Engineering Centre in Hyderabad will be a core part of Deliveroo’s central technology organization. The company has started recruiting and plans to employ over 150 engineers in India from the fields of analytics, platforms, automation and machine learning by the end of 2022.
The Engineering Centre in India will be Deliveroo’s largest technology hub outside the United Kingdom, where the company is headquartered.
Deliveroo’s service is underpinned by pioneering logistics technology based on machine learning. The launch of the India Engineering Centre provides opportunities for engineers to solve business problems as Deliveroo scales and enhances its offering.
The teams of engineers at the Centre will work on expediting software engineering and development across the fields of mobile apps, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Data Analytics.
Deliveroo has hired Sashi Somavarapu as Vice President of Engineering, who will head the India Engineering Centre. He has led teams in the world’s most technologically advanced organisations, including Amazon, Jio Platforms and Ford Motor. He will be reporting to Devesh Mishra, who joined Deliveroo in 2021 as its Chief Product and Technology Officer.
“The work we do in India will have a global impact, helping Deliveroo to scale while being at the forefront of change in its sector. This is a massive opportunity for software engineers, data scientists, machine learning and artificial intelligence engineers to work on some of the toughest challenges in engineering,” Devesh Mishra, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Deliveroo, said.
