About Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric SE is a French multinational headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, France. The company provides electrical-distribution and industrial-automation hardware, software, and services across buildings, data centers, infrastructure, and industry, with a portfolio that spans switchgear and power-distribution equipment, industrial control systems and PLCs, building-management and HVAC controls, uninterruptible power supplies (notably the APC by Schneider Electric brand), and a growing suite of digital and software offerings under the EcoStruxure platform. Schneider Electric traces its origins to 1836 in Le Creusot, France, and over more than 180 years has reshaped itself from heavy industry into a focused energy-management and automation company through a series of acquisitions including Square D, Modicon, APC, Invensys, RIB Software, AVEVA, and ETAP. The company is publicly listed on Euronext Paris and is a constituent of the CAC 40. Schneider Electric operates a substantial engineering, R&D, and shared-services presence in India, with offices across Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Gurugram, and other Indian cities. Indian teams contribute to product engineering across power, industrial automation, and digital products, as well as to global IT, finance, and supply-chain operations. Indian fresher hiring at Schneider Electric typically feeds into graduate-trainee, electrical, electronics, mechanical, embedded-systems, software-engineer, and supply-chain roles, sourced through structured campus placement at Indian engineering institutes alongside graduate-trainee programs. The company has positioned its long-term strategy around the energy transition, electrification, and digital transformation, with sustained investment in renewable-friendly grid infrastructure, microgrids, and industrial software.
