Research overview
'GE' as a single company ceased to exist after the April 2024 three-way breakup. The India engineering hub this record was built around - John F. Welch Technology Centre (JFWTC) in Bengaluru - is now operated by GE Aerospace, while GE HealthCare (spun off Jan 2023) runs a separate ~1,800-person Technology Centre on the same campus, and GE Vernova (spun off April 2024) runs its own India engineering out of Hyderabad/Bengaluru/Noida. Record should be reclassified as GE Aerospace India or split into three entity-specific records.
