About Sony Research India

Sony Research India is the India-based research arm of Japan's Sony Group Corporation. Headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the centre was established in 2020 to lead research and development for Sony Group from India, complementing Sony's other research centres in Japan, the United States, Europe, and Asia. It is operated as Sony Research India Private Limited and works on technologies that support Sony's diverse businesses across electronics, entertainment, gaming, music, pictures, and financial services. The centre's research focus areas include artificial intelligence and machine learning, multimedia and signal processing, computer vision, natural-language processing, recommendation systems, and India-relevant problems in entertainment, language, and content. Sony Research India has formed academic and ecosystem partnerships, including programmes with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, IIT Madras, IIIT Hyderabad, and other research institutions, and has run open research-grant programmes inviting Indian academic researchers to collaborate on AI and multimedia problems. The team brings together researchers, engineers, and applied scientists who publish at international venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL, and Interspeech, while also working closely with Sony's product divisions to bring research outcomes into commercial products. Sony Research India represents a part of the Sony Group's wider strategy to cultivate diverse research talent and to expand its R&D footprint into the Indian technology ecosystem. Indian fresher and early-career hiring at Sony Research India is typically into research-scientist, applied-research, software-engineer, machine-learning-engineer, and research-internship roles, with applications routed through Sony Research India's website and LinkedIn page.
