Bosch India has unveiled its new, smart campus called Spark.NXT at Bengaluru’s Adugodi area, that can house 10,000 employees, and offers multiple smart solutions based on sustainability, security, and user experience for employees, visitors, and facility management.
The Bosch campus has been designed to have flexible workspaces, where a seat or desk can be booked in advance by employees. In the hybrid work regime, the daily attendance at the campus would be 70%, resulting in a 20% reduction in real estate costs.
Soumitra Bhattacharya, Managing Director of Bosch Limited and President of Bosch Group, India, said, “Bosch has been part of the transformation in India for the last 100 years, and during this era we have revolutionised the mobility and the ‘beyond mobility’ ecosystem. With our new Spark.NXT campus, the company continues to invest in smart and sustainable solutions that are ‘Invented for life’ and supports the government’s vision for an Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
The Bosch Intelligent Air-Conditioning and Comfort Assistant (BIANCA) has been developed to improve employee comfort at the campus and reduce the latter’s carbon footprint. By optimising heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning operations (HVAC) based on occupancy and thermal preferences, BIANCA can reduce HVAC energy consumption by 30 to 50%.
Bosch will also hire 5500-6000 people in 2022-23, across all its group companies. The company has invested Rs 50 crore in the reduction of energy consumption at the new Adugodi campus over the long-term.
The campus will meet up to 85% of its total energy needs with in-house solar panels and the purchase of green group captive power. The vehicle-free campus, which will only allow electric vehicles, going forward will also have an experience centre and Bosch’s flagship stores.
