The New York-based music and entertainment company announced on Tuesday that the Bengaluru facility will drive technical innovation across its global technology operations. The hub will power key initiatives in music distribution, data infrastructure, and specialized products, ranging from core data pipelines to audience and marketing data tools. It will also advance engineering efforts utilizing artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

The Bengaluru facility is scheduled to officially open next month. WMG confirmed that active recruitment is currently underway across multiple technology disciplines to build out its capabilities at the site.
