About Alcon

Alcon is a global medical-device and pharmaceutical company specialising in eye care. It was founded in 1945 as a small pharmacy in Fort Worth, Texas, by pharmacists Robert Alexander and William Conner — its name is a contraction of their surnames. The company maintains dual headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and Fort Worth, Texas. Alcon is the largest dedicated eye-care company in the world. Its portfolio spans surgical equipment and consumables for cataract, vitreoretinal, and refractive procedures, contact lenses, and ocular pharmaceuticals. The company employs more than 25,000 people worldwide and trades publicly on the SIX Swiss Exchange and NYSE. In India, Alcon operates a corporate and engineering office in Bangalore, registered at RMZ Azure on Bellary Road, Hebbal. Indian fresher hiring spans clinical, regulatory, software-engineer, R&D-engineer, and associate roles, supporting both the company's global product organisation and the India commercial business. In India, Alcon also operates manufacturing and commercial functions in addition to its Bangalore corporate office, supporting the eye-care market across surgical and vision-care products. Fresher tech hiring is smaller in volume than at horizontal IT employers and concentrated on specific R&D, regulatory, and digital-product roles.
