Dublin, Ohio, and Dublin, Ireland headquartered Cardinal Health, set up a global IT tech hub in Bangalore, this April.
The NYSE-listed company caters to nearly 90% of U.S. hospitals, more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies, and more than 10,000 specialty physician offices and clinics.
In 2019, the company acquired Bangalore-based Mscripts that delivers patient adherence and engagement solutions; it has built upon this acquisition to grow its tech workforce in India.
Shane Abeyratne, senior VP of global business services at Cardinal Health, said that this is their first operation outside of the U.S. operations. “The hub will allow us to build the capabilities that we need for the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape,” he said.
Nagaraj Bhat, VP and managing director of Cardinal Health International India, said, “We are focusing on the three As — AI, automation and analytics — that is together called augmented intelligence. We are hiring people across data science, data engineering and automation and building capabilities in niche areas such as an e-commerce platform, digital marketing, and customer experience around sales and services, along with core specialized business process management.”
