Royal Philips celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for a new Research and Development (R&D) center to expand its Healthcare Innovation Centre (HIC) in Pune. The forthcoming facility, situated on a 10-acre plot in MIDC, Chinchwad, will initially offer around 300,000 sq. ft. of office space and accommodate 1,900 employees. Scheduled to be operational within two years, the center will host R&D teams from Philips’ image-guided therapy, precision diagnosis, monitoring, and sleep & respiratory businesses. Consolidating these teams in one location will enhance scalability, speed, and efficiency while facilitating resource sharing and best practices across divisions.

Aligned with its global mission to enhance the lives of 2.5 billion individuals annually by 2030, Philips aims to drive innovation in healthcare technologies through this new center. Notably, the facility emphasizes sustainability with provisions for Green Power, electric vehicle charging, and promoting bicycle commuting. This initiative underscores Philips’ commitment to a technology-first approach in expanding access to healthcare.

The Healthcare Innovation Centre in Pune, alongside Philips’ other operations in India, including the Innovation Campus in Bengaluru, Global Business Services in Chennai, and commercial headquarters in Gurgaon, collectively employs over 9,000 individuals. Bert van Meurs, Executive Vice President, and Chief Business Leader of Image Guided Therapy, expressed Philips’ dedication to supporting the Indian healthcare ecosystem and delivering innovative and sustainable solutions globally.

Peeyush Kaushik, Vice President and Head of Healthcare Innovation Centre, Pune, highlighted the center’s role in fostering collaboration with healthcare providers to achieve better health outcomes. Since its establishment in 2011, the Philips Healthcare Innovation Centre in Pune has focused on multi-modality healthcare R&D, smart manufacturing, and operational excellence, with a customer-centric approach from product development to commercialization.
