‘We Have Evolved Into an Innovation Partner’: Divya Prakash Joshi · deccanchronicle.com

Medtronic is a company that makes medical tools and devices for doctors and hospitals.

One of its big offices is in Hyderabad, a city in India.

In the beginning, this office only helped with engineering support.

Now it has grown into a place where new inventions are created for patients around the world.

About 1,600 engineers work there.

They build robots that help doctors in surgery, technology for the brain, and devices that help the heart.

The engineers also use artificial intelligence to help write software.

Humans always check the work because medical tools need to be very safe.

The centre has helped Medtronic launch many important new products.
