Putting some of the best engineering minds in the world to work on issues that really matter

The Stryker Global Technology Center (SGTC) has the crucial mission of helping our divisions to propel innovation in medical technology to reduce costs while raising quality. The SGTC is strategically located in India because of the availability of technical talent and a growing market.

Few locally educated engineers have direct training in medical technology, giving Stryker the opportunity to develop our own leaders. We are investing in India’s best engineering talent through a network of Stryker mentors and by providing education and leadership development training in collaboration with Stanford University, the Indian Institute of Technology and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

The SGTC also attracts engineering leaders who have had U.S. experience. Amit Guliani, an electronics engineer, earned a U.S. graduate degree, and Sathiya Prabaharan, a mechanical engineer, worked at a U.S.-based Stryker division before returning to India. Both point out that while India has a constrained economy, its people want the highest quality healthcare — a powerful motivation for everyone at SGTC.
