About Philips
Koninklijke Philips N.V., commonly referred to as Philips, is a Dutch multinational health-technology company headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The modern Philips operates across Diagnosis & Treatment, Connected Care, and Personal Health, offering diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy, patient monitoring, sleep and respiratory care, oral care, and consumer-health products. The company was founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik in Eindhoven, originally as a manufacturer of incandescent light bulbs. Over the twentieth century Philips expanded into consumer electronics, lighting, healthcare, and semiconductors. Following multiple divestitures — including the spin-off of Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), the divestment of its consumer-electronics and TV businesses, and the sale of NXP Semiconductors and Philips Domestic Appliances — Philips has refocused as a pure-play health-technology company. Philips operates one of its largest research, software, and customer-operations footprints outside of Europe in India. The Philips Innovation Campus in Bangalore is one of the company's biggest research centers globally, and Philips also runs offices in Pune, Chennai, Gurugram, and Mumbai supporting product development, IT, and shared services. Indian fresher hiring at Philips typically feeds into associate-software-engineer, data-scientist, machine-learning-engineer, mechanical, electronics, biomedical-engineer, and clinical-application-specialist roles, with structured graduate programs in Bangalore tied to its global health-technology product portfolio.
