Airbus plans to leverage Aero India to acquire talent

Bengaluru: Airbus, a major European aerospace corporation, is looking to acquire talent at the India’s premier air show, Aero India 2019, in addition to bagging couple of orders.

“The company will also leverage the event to acquire talent. On February 23 and 24, it will offer members of the public the opportunity to explore career prospects with Airbus India,”Anand E Stanley, President and Managing Director of Airbus India & South Asia, said.

The company is looking at skill sets in Avionics Software, Aircraft System Simulation and Airframe Structures as well as in API Development, full stack development, big data, cloud and DevOps.

In India, Airbus has sought to foster innovation and entrepreneurial spirit through the Airbus BizLab, which will be present at the air show. Visitors will get a first glance of the opportunities that the start-up accelerator offers. Airbus BizLab will also partner with Invest India to organise the ‘Start-up Day’ at Aero India.
At the Aero India, Airbus is planning to display its commitment to supporting the growth of India’s aviation, defence and space sectors, particularly in the areas of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Start-up India’.

At the Airbus stand, visitors can experinace interactive virtual and augmented reality experiences.

Stanley said, “Aero India is the jewel in the crown of the world’s largest defence and third-largest commercial aviation market. Airbus’ large-scale commitment to the show demonstrates that India is more than a market, it’s a core base for us.”
