SAP is at the centre of today’s technology revolution. The market leader in enterprise application software, SAP helps organisations fight the damaging effects of complexity, generate new opportunities for innovation and growth, and stay ahead of the competition.

SAP Labs India is SAP's largest Research and Development center outside its headquarters in Germany and a part of a connected lab network of 19 Labs in 16 countries.

Through a network of three labs in India -Bangalore, Gurgaon and Pune - SAP Labs India focuses on business innovation through radical simplification to ensure customer success.
SAP Labs started in India with a very small theme — focusing on local needs. India has different needs and regulations and so the need for localisation of software. The biggest change was in the beginning of 2010 when SAP Labs India was entering a stage where products were getting conceptualised, designed, built for the world here. Now India is one of the most important pillars of SAP R&D.
