Oracle Careers & Recruitment

Corporate Overview & History

Oracle Corporation, founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates, began as Software Development Laboratories with a vision to create a relational database management system (RDBMS). The flagship product, Oracle Database, launched in 1979 and quickly became the industry benchmark for enterprise data management. Over four decades, Oracle expanded beyond databases into a full‑stack of cloud services, enterprise applications, middleware, and hardware (Oracle Engineered Systems). Today, Oracle is a Fortune 100 company with more than 140,000 employees worldwide, serving over 430,000 customers across 175+ countries.

In India, Oracle opened its first development centre in Bengaluru in 1995. The Indian ecosystem now comprises three major R&D hubs (Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune), a sales & consulting network spanning Mumbai, Gurgaon, Chennai, and a cloud data‑center region in Hyderabad. Oracle India contributes roughly 10% of the company’s global R&D output and is a strategic partner for digital transformation initiatives across banking, telecom, manufacturing, and public sector.
