Bangalore: To improve offshoring capability and to build a strong engineering talent pool in India, Airbus is set to start an ODC (Offshore Development Centre) model. This is being tried by it for the first time anywhere in the world.
The ODC model includes a commitment by Airbus to partner with Indian suppliers, handhold them in training and execution, and depute technical managers to manage these ODCs until they reach a level of maturity. This process may take at least two years for each such unit.
As a part of this process, Airbus has selected Bangalore-headquartered CADES as their ODC partner for fuselage design activities.
Said S Ravi Narayanan, chairman & CEO of CADES: “It is a great honour not only to us but to the entire Indian engineering community. We would do our best to utilise the opportunity and model to create a world class aerostructure design eco-system with the help of Airbus,” he added.
