Lucius Smith Lowe opened Lowe's North Wilkesboro Hardware in North Carolina in 1921, and the business grew into a national chain of home improvement stores. Lowe's went public in 1961, has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1979 and is headquartered in Mooresville, North Carolina. Its stores and website sell building materials, tools, appliances and home and garden products to homeowners and trade customers, and since selling its Canadian retail business in 2023 its stores are all in the United States. Lowe's set up an office in Bengaluru in 2014 to expand its analytics and technology work. Lowe's India Private Limited now operates from Manyata Embassy Business Park in Bengaluru, supporting the company in technology, data science and analytics, omnichannel platforms, supply chain, merchandising, marketing, and financial planning and analysis.

Finance hiring in Bengaluru is weighted towards internal audit, with staff, senior and lead senior auditor roles, including business SOX work, that ask for two to nine years of post-qualification experience. Other openings cover order-to-cash and collections, accounting analytics and reporting, and FP&A planning and forecasting. Seniority runs from associate roles needing two to three years to lead analyst and lead auditor roles. The FP&A role wants a qualified CA, CMA, CIMA or CFA, or an MBA in Finance, while the audit roles look for a degree in accounting or finance and prefer a CA, CPA, CIA or CISA.
