'SAP to step up hiring in India: CEO

German technology major SAP views India as the fastest-growing market, where it plans to embark on an aggressive hiring spree, a top company executive said on Wednesday.

"India is among the top 10 markets for SAP and growing fastest. We will continue to invest in India. We are expanding our campus to accommodate 15,000 more people. Our AI strategy focuses on India because we can scale the best here," said Christian Klein, chief executive officer, SAP.

SAP has a business footprint across 130 countries, and India is demonstrating the fastest growth rate in the top ten markets for the company.

At present, SAP Labs India has 15,000 employees, the second-largest headcount. By next year, SAP will have a second office in Bengaluru that can house 15,000.
