Twenty-four percent of the company will continue to be owned by company founder Harshal Pore, who will serve as managing director of Basler India, with an option of a future takeover by the Basler Group.
“India is a disproportionately growing, promising computer vision market in which Basler is now positioning itself early on in a customer-centric and strategy-compliant manner,” Basler said in a press release.
Last year, Basler acquired a stake in another collaborator, Roboception GmbH, to support the development of 3D image processing solutions for robotic systems.
